Questions & Answers about Ipadala mo ito sa kanila.
Is Ipadala mo ito sa kanila a command?
Yes. It is an imperative sentence, so it means you are telling someone to do something.
In natural English, it is like:
- Send this to them.
The person being addressed is you, shown by mo.
What does ipadala mean here?
Ipadala means send in this sentence.
A helpful way to think about it is:
- dala = carry, bring
- padala / ipadala = send, have something delivered
So ipadala is the verb form used here to tell someone to send something.
Why is mo used? Doesn’t mo mean your?
Mo can mean different things depending on the structure.
Here, mo does not mean possession. It means you as the person who will do the action.
So in this sentence:
- Ipadala = send
- mo = you
- ito = this
- sa kanila = to them
A very literal breakdown would be something like:
- Send by you this to them
That sounds strange in English, but it helps show the grammar.
