Why do we always want something we can’t have? Honestly, we don’t know, but it sure makes a good story. In the first Elementary lesson, Cris and Mickey take a look at the life of little Pepe, his forbidden desire, and how it’s starting to rip apart his relationship with a loved one. Sounds a tad bit too dramatic? Well, that’s how we like it. Jovitt adds to the hoolah with an insider’s look at Filipinos and their pets.

B: You can’t have any, Pepe.
A: Why, ma? Why???
B: Because I said so. That’s why.

Hoy pares! Ok, i was looking at the PDF that went along with this “aso” dialogue. You threw a monkey wrench in there when you wrote: niya, namin, ninyo, and nila. I thought it was siya, kamin, kayo, and sila respectively. I’m a French teacher, remember, so you can give it to me grammatically. Are the former stress pronouns? Are the latters ones subject pronouns? Salamat.
Hey Jacki,
You hit it right on the head.
‘Niya, namin, ninyo, and nila’ are focus (or stress, are they the same?) pronouns. While, ‘siya, kami, kayo, and sila’ are subject pronouns.
So, you can have ‘Binili niya ang sapatos” (He bought SHOES, emphasis on the shoes) and “Bumili siya ng sapatos” (HE bought shoes, emphasis on the subject).
