FIL: Isang uri ng panghalip na ginagamit sa pagtukoy o pagturo sa mga tao, bagay, lugar, o pangyayari. Halimbawa: ito, iyan, iyon.
EN: demonstrative pronoun
Grammar's version of pointing. When you're too lazy to say "yung laptop sa ibabaw ng lamesa," you just say "ito" (this). It's the "this," "that," and "that over yonder" (ito, iyan, iyon) of the Tagalog world. Essential for chismis: "Iyan ang suot niya kahapon!"
From "pan-" + "patlig" (an archaic root word meaning 'to point at'). The "n" in the prefix "pan-" assimilates to "m" before a root word starting with 'p'.
This is a grammatical term itself, not a word used in everyday conversation. However, the words it describes (e.g., ito, iyan, iyon) are used daily.
