Iyan Tagalog Word
Learn "iyan," meaning "that," pointing to objects or ideas close to the listener.
"Iyan" is a demonstrative pronoun in Tagalog that refers to something closer to the person being spoken to, or something that has already been mentioned in a conversation. It is akin to the English word "that," used to specify an object or idea previously introduced or understood by both the speaker and listener. For example, in a conversation about a book, a speaker may say, "Iyan ang libro na gusto kong basahin," meaning "That is the book I want to read," referring to a specific book already discussed.
In day-to-day conversations, "iyan" helps to maintain clarity and ensure that both parties are referring to the same thing. It is frequently utilized to point something out or emphasize a particular focus. The equivalent word for this in proximity to the speaker would be "ito," while "iyan" is used for objects or ideas closer to the listener.
"Iyan" can also be used to affirm or support a statement made by someone else. For instance, if someone says something insightful, you might hear someone else agree by saying, "Iyan ang tama," meaning "That is right." This shows how "iyan" can be employed to ensure that both communication and comprehension are aligned between speakers.
