However, depending on the context, other words may be more appropriate, such as:
* Tema: This is more commonly used when talking about the main subject of a discussion, a piece of writing, or a work of art.
* Paksang-usap: This refers specifically to the subject of a conversation.
* Paksa ng talakayan: This is a more formal way to say "topic of discussion."
Here are some examples:
* Ano ang paksa ng iyong pag-aaral? (What is the topic of your study?)
* Ang paksa ng pelikula ay tungkol sa pag-ibig. (The theme of the film is about love.)
* Ano ang paksa ng talakayan natin ngayon? (What is the topic of our discussion today?)
The best word to use will depend on the specific context of the sentence.
