What is the difference between....
I am learning bisaja and am wondering what the difference is between the two sentences.
"Matulog na ko"
and
"Motulog na ko"
I know that basically they mean "I'm going to slee now" but how exactly are MAtulog and MOtulog different?
Thank you!!
Ma/Mo differences
Ma - potential for passive verbs.
Mo - punctual active verb prefix (roughly translate to the English auxiliary verb will). Volitional actions.
"Motulog na ko" - is ungrammatical. You have to rephrase it as "mokatulog na ko". btw. "motulog na siya" (He will sleep) is acceptable.
Prefix pairing:
future - past
Ma - Na-
Mo - Ni/Mi/Ning-
