THE JOYS OF LEARNING ILOCANO
Every th ing i s
d i f f e r en t
in I l o cano .
The
plural of silaw (=light;
rhymes
with
see how i s s i ls i law. The pas t tense of
aramiden
(=to do, make)
i s
inaramid.
The
plural of ^ i s dagit i . I t is a
l i t t l e
all-purpose
word, a nominalizer, t ha t i s
used
very much.
There must
be
a mill ion
words in
the

One
word fo r wash
will
not
do There
are
words
for
washing
clothes, dishes , hands, face,
and for
tak
ing a ba t h .
The
joys
come when you recognize a
word in an
Ilocan
sermon Later you find
you can unders tand a whole l i n e in th e
Ilocano hymn book.
St i l l
la ter
you
can
recognize
the components
in
a
big
word of
many sy l lab les . (This i s th e f avor i t e
kind). Occasionally
in
teaching
we can
use an I locano word o r phrase . This makes
the students faces
l ight up with the joy
o f unders tanding.
