Questions & Answers about Tirahan ba ito?
Tirahan means residence, dwelling, or place to live.
It comes from the root tira in the sense of stay/live somewhere, plus -han, a suffix that often forms a noun referring to a place. So tirahan is basically a place for staying/living.
It sounds a bit more neutral and functional than home.
Ba marks the sentence as a yes/no question.
So:
- Tirahan ito. = This is a residence.
- Tirahan ba ito? = Is this a residence?
It does not itself mean is or do; it simply signals that the speaker is asking for confirmation.
