Prefix

ná-

1. (Batangas) Used to form progressive aspects of verbs prefixed with um- or infixed with -um-

   Nakain siya ng isda.

   He/She is eating fish

Usage notes

The Batangas dialect prefix, when written, is generally a source of confusion and mockery for the majority of Tagalog speakers, but the two actually differ by pronunciation. The na-, where it indicates a perfective aspect, is pronounced without stress, while the na- prefix, where it indicates a progressive aspect in the Batangas dialect, is pronounced with stress.
