Questions & Answers about Kumpleto ang masayang pamilya ngayong gabi.
Why is masaya turned into masayang here?
In Filipino, the adjective masaya (happy) modifies a noun by adding -ng when the adjective directly precedes the noun. So masaya becomes masayang when describing pamilya (family).
What is the role of ang in this sentence?
Ang is a marker that focuses or emphasizes the subject of the sentence. In this case, it highlights masayang pamilya (the happy family) as the subject.
Can I switch Kumpleto ang masayang pamilya ngayong gabi to another word order?
Yes, Filipino word order can be flexible. You could say Ang masayang pamilya ay kumpleto ngayong gabi or Ngayong gabi, kumpleto ang masayang pamilya, still conveying the same meaning.
