Here's a breakdown:
* Pang- is a prefix that indicates a function or purpose.
* Uri means "kind" or "type".
Therefore, pang-uri literally means "something that describes the kind or type" of something.
Examples:
* Maganda (beautiful)
* Malaki (big)
* Mabilis (fast)
* Masaya (happy)
* Puti (white)
These words modify nouns and describe their qualities or attributes.
