What does ta mean in Tagalog?

"Ta" in Tagalog is a versatile word with multiple meanings, depending on the context. Here are some common ones:

1. "Already" or "Finished": This is the most common meaning. It's used to indicate that something has been completed or has already happened.

* Example: "Kumain na ta." (We've already eaten.)

2. "You" (plural): This is used in informal settings when referring to a group of people, usually friends or family.

* Example: "Tara na ta!" (Let's go, you guys!)

3. Part of a verb: "Ta" can be part of a verb in Tagalog, but it's less common than the first two meanings. It can indicate something has been completed.

* Example: "Natapos ta ang trabaho." (We finished the work.)

4. "That": In some cases, "ta" can be used as a synonym for "iyon," meaning "that."

* Example: "Gusto ko ta." (I want that.)

To determine the exact meaning of "ta," you need to consider the context of the sentence.
