Here's why:
* Tagalog Pronunciation: Tagalog is a syllable-timed language, meaning each syllable is pronounced with roughly equal emphasis. The sound "ey" is a diphthong (two vowel sounds combined), which isn't common in Tagalog pronunciation.
* Letter Combinations: Tagalog spelling typically uses combinations of letters like "ay," "ey," "oy," "iy," and "uy" to represent diphthongs. While the letters "ey" are used in English, they don't appear together in Tagalog words.
Possible Misunderstandings:
You might be thinking of words with similar sounds:
* "ey" as a sound: The sound "ey" can be represented in Tagalog words using different combinations like "ay" or "ey." For example, "bay" (pay) or "mey" (may).
* Foreign words: If you're encountering words with "ey," it's likely a loanword from English or another language.
