Sasagutin ko ang tanong mo mamaya.

Filipino commonly puts the verb first. So instead of saying I will answer your question later in the English order, Filipino naturally says something closer to:

Will-answer I your question later.

That is why the sentence begins with sasagutin.

Sasagutin means will answer or am going to answer.

It comes from the root word sagot, which means answer.

Here is the rough breakdown:

• sagot = answer
• sagutin = answer something / answer someone
• sasagutin = will answer something / will answer someone

So sasagutin is the future/contemplated aspect form.

It is formed by using a common Filipino verb pattern based on the root sagot.

A simple way to see it is:

• root: sagot
• verb form: sagutin
• future/contemplated: sasagutin

What changes?

• the first syllable is repeated: sa-
• the verb uses the -in ending pattern

So:

• sagutin = answer
• sasagutin = will answer

This is a very common pattern in Filipino verbs.

Ko is the form of I / me / my used in this kind of sentence.

In Filipino, pronouns change form depending on their role in the sentence.

• ako = the ang-form
• ko = the ng-form

In Sasagutin ko ang tanong mo mamaya, the verb form makes tanong mo the ang-marked part, so the doer is marked with ko, not ako.

So:

• ako is not correct here
• ko is the correct pronoun

Because in this sentence, the thing being answered is marked by ang.

The sentence uses a verb form that focuses on the object/patient rather than the doer. That is why:

• ko marks the person who will answer
• ang tanong mo marks the thing that will be answered

So ang tanong mo means your question as the main noun phrase of the sentence.

In Filipino, possessive pronouns usually come after the noun.

So:

• tanong mo = your question
• literally: question your

This is normal Filipino word order.

Other examples:

• bahay ko = my house
• kaibigan niya = his/her friend
• kotse natin = our car

This is a very common learner question.

• sumagot = to answer / reply
• sagutin = to answer something or someone

A helpful way to think about it:

• sumagot ako = I answered / I replied
• sinagot ko ang tanong = I answered the question

So in your sentence, sasagutin is used because there is a specific thing being answered: ang tanong mo.

Mamaya usually means later or in a little while.

Depending on context, it can mean:

• later
• later on
• in a bit
• this afternoon / later today

In this sentence, mamaya is best understood as later.

So:

Sasagutin ko ang tanong mo mamaya.
= I’ll answer your question later.

Yes. Filipino word order is flexible.

These are all possible:

• Sasagutin ko ang tanong mo mamaya.
• Mamaya ko sasagutin ang tanong mo.
• Ang tanong mo, sasagutin ko mamaya.

They all mean roughly the same thing, but the emphasis changes a little.

For example:

• Mamaya ko sasagutin ang tanong mo. puts more emphasis on later
• Ang tanong mo, sasagutin ko mamaya. highlights your question

It is neutral and very natural. It works well in everyday speech.

It is not especially formal, but it is not slangy either. You could say it to:

• a friend
• a classmate
• a coworker
• someone asking you something

If you wanted to sound more polite, you might add polite words or use po if appropriate.

For example:

• Sasagutin ko po ang tanong ninyo mamaya.

That would sound more respectful.

Here, tanong is a noun meaning question.

So:

• ang tanong mo = your question

But tanong can also appear in expressions related to asking, depending on the structure. Filipino roots are often flexible.

In this sentence, though, it is clearly a noun.

Not as directly. The sentence specifically says I will answer your question later.

Because of ang tanong mo, the focus is on the question.

If you wanted something more like I’ll reply later, a different wording might be used, depending on context.

So the given sentence is best understood specifically as answering a question, not just generally replying.

A more literal rendering would be:

Will-answer I the question your later.

Of course, that is not natural English, but it helps show the structure:

• sasagutin = will answer
• ko = by me / I
• ang tanong mo = your question
• mamaya = later

That can help English speakers see how Filipino grammar is organized.

The biggest grammar point is focus/voice.

This sentence uses a form where the thing being answered is marked by ang:

• ang tanong mo

Meanwhile, the doer is marked by ko:

• ko = I

So this is a good example of how Filipino does not map directly onto English subject-object patterns. The verb form and the markers ang/ng-type pronouns work together.

If you remember just one thing, it can be this:

• sasagutin goes naturally with ang for the thing answered
• ko marks the one doing the answering
