/pag/
FIL: Isang pangatnig na nag-uugnay ng dalawang sugnay, na nagpapahayag ng kondisyon o panahon. Ito ay ang pinaikling anyo ng salitang 'kapag'.
EN: when; if
The shorter, more chill version of 'kapag'. It's the 'if' in your 'what ifs' and the 'when' in your 'see you when I see you.' You use it a million times a day without thinking. 'Pag may time,' 'Pag-uwi mo,' 'Pag galit ka'... it's the glue of everyday Filipino sentences.
Contraction of 'kapag'.
'Pag' is used ubiquitously in informal and spoken Tagalog. 'Kapag' is generally preferred in formal writing.
