FIL: Isang panghalip panao na tumutukoy sa pang-angkop na anyo ng 'sila' (kanila) o bilang tagaganap ng isang pandiwang balintiyak (ginawa nila).
EN: their; theirs; by them
The ultimate chismis pronoun. It's the 'they' in 'Sabi nila...' (They said...) or 'Nakita ko sila...' (I saw them...). It's also possessive, as in 'Bahay nila' (Their house). It's the word you use when you're talking about a group of people, whether you're assigning them a task at work ('Gawin nila 'yan') or blaming them for eating the last piece of lechon ('Inubos nila!').
A form of 'sila'.
'Nila' is used as a possessive pronoun (e.g., 'bahay nila' - their house) and as the agent in passive verb constructions (e.g., 'kinain nila' - was eaten by them). It's the non-subject form of 'sila'.
