EN: speech; manner of speaking; statement
It's not just *what* you say, but *how* you say it. This is your 'delivery'—your choice of words, your tone, your accent. Is your pananalita 'conyo,' 'jologs,' 'bekimon,' or straight out of a Balagtas poem? It's your verbal personality, the thing your friends make fun of or your boss praises during presentations.
From the verb 'magsalita' (to speak). The noun is formed via `pan-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `salita`, resulting in `pananalita`.
Can refer to both the general act/manner of speaking and a specific utterance or formal speech.
