Questions & Answers about Masarap ang pagkain kapag masaya ang pamilya o mga kaibigan.

Why is masarap used instead of another word meaning delicious?

In Filipino, masarap is the most common and straightforward adjective for describing something as tasty or delicious. There are other words like malinamnam or masarap kainin, but masarap is the simplest and most direct way to say delicious.

What does kapag mean in this sentence?

Kapag means when or whenever in English. It introduces a condition—a time or situation in which something happens. In this sentence, it shows that the food is delicious when the family or friends are happy.

Why is ang used before pagkain and also before pamilya and mga kaibigan?

Ang is the basic subject marker in Filipino. It usually marks the focus of the sentence. Here, ang pagkain is the main subject of the statement, while ang pamilya and mga kaibigan are also marked to emphasize them as part of the condition: the food is delicious when the family or friends are happy.

Why do we use o (or) instead of at (and)?

O indicates a choice or alternative. The sentence says the food is delicious if either family or friends are happy. If the sentence used at, it would imply that both family and friends needed to be happy at the same time.

What is the grammar function of mga before kaibigan?

Mga is a plural marker in Filipino. It transforms a singular noun into its plural form. Kaibigan is friend (or friends in general if context indicates that). Writing mga kaibigan clearly shows that it’s friends in plural, not just one friend.
