Review Summary

  • Root + Affix / Metathesis / Hybridization

Erreurs courantes

Slang often retains the original grammatical function of the root word. 'Lodi' is a person, not a quality.

Wrong: Ang ganda ng lodi mo.
Correct: Ang galing ng lodi mo.

Slang verbs don't always follow standard affixation rules. Stick to established usage.

Wrong: Hulasan mo ang iyong makeup.
Correct: Mahuhulas ang iyong makeup.

The term 'marites' already implies 'person'. Redundancy is unnecessary.

Wrong: Siya ay isang marites na tao.
Correct: Siya ay isang marites.
