/YA-ta/
FIL: Isang pang-abay na nagpapahiwatig ng pag-aalinlangan, kawalan ng katiyakan, o isang palagay tungkol sa isang bagay.
EN: perhaps; maybe; it seems
The official word for 'parang'. It's the verbal shrug you use when you're not 100% sure but you're making a calculated guess. 'Umuwi na siya **yata**.' (I think she went home already, but don't quote me on that). It's the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card for chismis and assumptions. You're not stating a fact, just a 'yata'.
Usually placed after the word it modifies or at the end of a clause.
