What is pang-angkop in English?

Pang-angkop in English is "linking word" or "connector".

It's a type of function word in Tagalog that connects a noun to another word, usually a modifier or a verb.

Here are some examples:

* "ng" - the most common pang-angkop, used to connect a noun to a modifier (adjective) or verb:

* *ang malaking bahay* (the big house)

* *kumain ng prutas* (ate some fruit)

* "na" - used to connect a noun to a modifier (adjective) or verb, often emphasizing the quality of the noun:

* *ang magandang babae na nakita ko* (the beautiful woman that I saw)

* *bumili na siya ng damit* (he already bought clothes)

* "ni" - used to connect a noun to a verb that signifies possession or action:

* *ang libro ni Juan* (Juan's book)

* *binasa ni Maria ang libro* (Maria read the book)

Pang-angkop plays a crucial role in Tagalog grammar, helping to create clear and grammatical sentences.
