This sentence translates to 'He/She is sad because of the news.' It follows the common S-V-O structure in Tagalog, where 'Siya' (he/she) is the subject, 'ay malungkot' (is sad) is the verb phrase, and 'dahil sa balita' (because of the news) is the reason.
This translates to 'Why are you sad now?' 'Bakit' (why) initiates the question, followed by 'ka' (you) as the subject, 'malungkot' (sad), and 'ngayon' (now) indicating time.
This means 'That story is very sad.' 'Napakalungkot' (very sad) is an intensified form of 'malungkot'. 'Ng kwento' (of the story) connects the adjective to the noun, and 'na iyon' (that one) specifies the story.
This sentence structure (adverb + linker + adjective + pronoun + prepositional phrase) is common in Tagalog to express intensity of emotion. 'Labis na' (extremely) modifies 'malungkot' (sad), and 'siya' (she/he) is the subject experiencing the emotion 'sa balita' (about the news).
Here, 'Ang kanyang mukha' (Her/His face) is the subject, linked by 'ay' to the adjective 'malungkot' (sad). The conjunction 'habang' (while) introduces a clause describing a concurrent action: 'nagpapaalam siya' (she/he was saying goodbye).
This sentence uses a negative existential construction ('Hindi maikakaila' - It cannot be denied) followed by the noun phrase 'ang malungkot na titig' (the sad gaze). The possessive 'sa kanyang mga mata' (in her/his eyes) specifies where the gaze is directed.
