Questions & Answers about Hubarin mo ang basa mong medyas bago matulog.
Why is hubarin used here? What exactly does it mean?
Hubarin means take off / remove (an item of clothing).
In this sentence, it is the natural verb because the thing being removed is clothing: medyas = socks.
A useful contrast:
- Hubarin mo ang medyas. = Take off the socks.
- Maghubad ka. = Get undressed.
So hubarin focuses on the item being removed, while maghubad focuses more on the person undressing.
Why is there a mo right after hubarin?
Mo means you / your here, and in this kind of command it marks the person who should do the action.
So:
- Hubarin = take off
- mo = you
Together, Hubarin mo means You, take it off or more naturally Take off ...
In Filipino, short pronouns like mo often come right after the verb.
