/ni-YON/
FIL: Isang panghalip na pamatlig sa anyong paari, na hango sa salitang 'ni' at 'iyon'. Tumutukoy ito sa pag-aari o kaugnayan sa isang bagay o lugar na malayo sa nag-uusap.
EN: of that
This is the slightly more formal, almost poetic cousin of 'niyan.' It's like pointing at something far away and saying 'of that.' You'd hear it in classic Filipino movies or from your lola. 'Ang ganda **niyon**!' (The beauty **of that**!). It’s the ‘that over yonder’ pronoun.
Contraction of 'ni' + 'iyon'.
Often used interchangeably with 'noon' in some contexts, but 'niyon' is strictly the possessive form of 'iyon' (that). 'Niyon' is to 'iyon' as 'nito' is to 'ito'.
