Usages of na
Gabi na, salamat sa pagbisita.
It's already night, thank you for visiting.
Paalam na, kaibigan, at maupo tayo sa silya ngayong umaga.
Goodbye, friend, and let us sit on the chair this morning.
Handa na ba ang bayad mo para sa sumbrero na pipiliin mo?
Is your payment ready for the hat you will choose?
May mensahe na ako, pero sagot mo lang ang hinihintay.
I already have a message, but only your answer is being awaited.
May asawa na si Maria, at may anak pa sila.
Maria already has a spouse, and they still have a child.
Wala nang tanghalian sa opisina, kaya kumain kami sa labas.
There is no more lunch at the office, so we ate outside.
Mag-ingat kayo sa paglalakbay, at tumawag muna kapag nasa bahay na.
Be careful on the journey, and call first when you are already at home.
Handa na ba ang tanghalian?
Is the lunch ready?
Dumating na si Ana, at malapit lang si Juan.
Ana has arrived, and Juan is just nearby.
Dumating si Pedro nang maaga, kaya busog na siya bago ang tanghalian.
Pedro arrived early, so he was already full before lunch.
Alas siyete na sa relo ko; magsimula na tayo.
It is seven o'clock on my watch; let's start now.
Bumili sila ng relo sa tindahan at tapos na sila.
They bought a watch at the store and they are done.
Kapag tapos na ang laro, huminto muna at magpahinga tayo sa kwarto.
When the game is finished, let's stop first and rest in the bedroom.
Malapit na kaming umalis, pero si Tatay ay nanonood pa ng balita.
We are about to leave, but Father is still watching the news.
Malapit na sanang umulan kanina, pero uminit na naman ang araw.
It was about to rain earlier, but then the sun became hot again.
Uuwi muna si Kuya sa probinsya, pero babalik siya sa lungsod kapag tapos na ang kanyang proyekto.
My older brother will first go home to the province, but he will return to the city when his project is finished.
Huwag masyadong manood ng balita sa telebisyon kung pagod na ang lahat sa bahay.
Don't watch too much news on television if everyone at home is already tired.
Malapit nang magsara ang restawran, kaya umorder na tayo ng panghimagas.
The restaurant is about to close, so let's order dessert now.
Kailangan kong magpagupit bukas ng umaga dahil mahaba na ang buhok ko.
I need to get a haircut tomorrow morning because my hair is already long.
Magpagupit din siguro si Maria sa lungsod kapag may oras na siya.
Maria will probably also get a haircut in the city when she has time.
Kung pagod ka na, pwede kang magpatingin sa doktor kung may sakit ka.
If you are already tired, you can have yourself checked by a doctor if you are sick.
Kung busog ka na sa karne, kumain ka na lang ng isda at gulay.
If you are already full from meat, just eat fish and vegetables.
Luma na ang sapatos ko, pero bagong regalo ko naman ang damit.
My shoes are already old, but my clothes are my new gift.
