English Grammar for Filipinos: Ano ang mga pagkakaiba ng mga salitang Ingles sa past tense forms na Lay, Laid, Lain, at Lied?

Pwedeng panoorin ang aking maiksing bidyo sa YouTube sa taas, pero higit na mainam kung babasahin din ang teksto sa baba:

Lay: Ito po ang past tense ng lie na pag sinalin sa Filipino ay, "higa." At ito ay ginagawa sa sarili. Hal. sa present tense: Higa na ako. =  I will lie down already. Past tense: Humiga ako kagabi. = I lay down last night.

Laid: Ito naman ang past tense ng lie na pag sinalin sa Filipino ay, "hiniga." Bale ito ay ginagawa hindi sa sarili kundi sa ibang tao o bagay. Hal. Hiniga ko ang aking aso sa kama. = I laid my dog on the bed.

Lain: Ito ang past participle ng lie o higa. Hal. Mahigit isang oras nang nakahiga ang kuting sa sahig = The kitten has lain on the floor for more than an hour.

Lied: Nagsinungaling. Hal. Nagsinungaling ako tungkol sa kung nasaan ako kagabi = I lied about where I was last night.

Kaya base sa mga naunang halimbawa:

Maling isalin sa Ingles ang "Humiga siya sa kama kanina" bilang "He lied down in bed earlier." Ang tama ay, "He lay down in bed earlier." Kung lasing naman kaya binuhat' hiniga ng kanyang mga kaibigan sa kama, mali ang "His friends carried and lay him down on the bed." Mali rin ang, "His friends carried and lied him down on the bed. Ang tama ay, "His friends carried and laid him on the bed."

Sa pagtatapos, isang pagsalin ng isang buong talata, na sa Ingles ay gamit ang lay, laid, lain, at lied:

Nagsinungaling ako noong sinabi ko na nahiga at natulog ako ng maaga kagabi. Ang totoo ay hiniga ko ang manikin sa aking kama tapos tinakpan ko ng kumot. Pagkatapos, tumakas ako sa bintana at magdamag na naglaro ng tong-its sa lamay ng tatay ng kaibigan ko ngayo'y mga isang linggo nang nakahimlay sa kabaong.

I lied when I said that I lay down and slept early last night. The truth is I laid the mannequin on my bed then covered it with a blanket. Afterwards, I escaped through the window and played tong-its overnight at the wake of my friend's father who is lain in a casket for about a week now.

Ayos ba?  

Yung mga mahuhusay po sa balarila/grammar sa Filipino at English, feel free to comment and correct me po. Salamat! 

One Minute Hirit 26: “Flight is a sign of guilt": Pinalipad na ni Duterte ang Pilipinas palayo ng ICC!

Di ko na susuruin kung may extrajudicial confessions nga ba si Duterte sa Senado o Kongreso, at marami ng videos ang mga abogadong vloggers tungkol dyan. Flashback na muna tayo, or “throwback”, in modern parlance . . . #Duterte #dutertelegacy #quadcom #crimeagainsthumanity #internationalcriminalcourt #icc

"Mahirap talagang kalaban ang doble-kara . . . Kung magkasundo man ang dalawang kampon, este, kampo ng mga Marcos at Duterte, ito ay malamang para hapi-hapi lang ulit sila sa kanila-kanilang "raket" (to put it mildly) sa kaban ng bayan." #impeachment #impeachvpsara #bbm #martinromualdez #SaraDuterte

The Snakeman's Dream

I'm glad that TPT Magazine features four of my poems in their latest November 25, 2024 issue (Issue VII). Three can be read on this page. One, "The Snakeman's Dream," is not printed but an audio recording of my reading can be accessed here. And that's why I'm sharing the text of the poem in this blog post:

The Snakeman’s Dream

 

No python, so it won’t constrict

and squeeze me to my last,

but it’s poisonous still.

 

Unfailingly, every night

this reptile crawls out of its hole

in a corner of my bedroom wall,

then entwines and slithers all over me

as I lie in bed alone.

 

Unfailingly, I wish

that its head is your hand,

and its body, your arm.

 

Ah, different bodies,

same venom.

Duterte: Umamin na totoong siya ang pinuno ng DDS hit squad na nasa likod ng mga kaso ng EJK?! (At may libreng libro dito!)

Ah okey. Eniwey, may sinulat din kasi akong koleksyon bago pa ng pag-amin ni Rodrigo Duterte sa Senado* nitong nakaraan lang. At ito ay binubuo ng kanyang mga "pag-amin" simula sa mga kaganapan noong kanyang kabataan hanggang sa pagbaba niya sa puwesto. Kathang isip lamang pero base sa mga balita't statements niya. Mga tula ito na base pa rin naman sa mga resibo, ika nga. (Parang talambuhay at psychological insight sa kanyang pagkatao.) Bale una ko na siyang "pinaamin" sa koleksyon na ito, haha! Sa wikang Ingles dahil isa ito sa mga proyekto ko bilang 2024 International Fellow ng International Human Rights Art Movement (IHRAM) na ang punong tanggapan ay sa New York, NY, USA. I-click dito para sa libreng digital copy ng medyo maiksing babasahin: Datuterte: Imagined Confessions 2024 (IHRAM 2024). Ito ang aking munting kontribusyon para sa karapatang pantao at demokrasya sa ating bansang Pilipinas. Dedicated sa mga biktima't naulila ng extrajudicial killings (EJK) noong panunungkulan ni Duterte. Sana'y makamit nila ang hustisya!

Mga ilang positive reviews:

If there is anything you will read today, make it Karlo Silverio Lagman Sevilla III's free digital poetry collection, Datuterte. It's a unique, honest, and powerful collage of first-person poems spoken from Rodrigo Duterte's viewpoint, using real-life statements during his bloody six-year regime as Philippine president. It offers an encompassing grasp of his violent political term and is a product of Karlo's fellowship at International Human Rights Art Movement (IHRAM).

- Gretchen Filart, poet, Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Nominee

. . . Karlo Sevilla, has a new book out and it pulls no punches. Assembled largely from public record, the poems reveal something tragic about their subject.

- Christian Smith, editor, The Isthmus 

More about the book from my previous post here.

At isa pang libreng libro, mahabang tula, base sa sigalot sa Palestina: The Boy On the Hill (IHRAM 2024).

*Binawi raw ni Duterte yung mga inamin niya, joke lang daw. Bale nagawa pang magbiro ng loko kahit under oath? Sabi naman ni Mon Tulfo, high daw kasi sa fentanyl. (Si Mon Tulfo nagsabi niyan, ha? Hindi ako.)

Maraming salamat! ✊

• Published June 10, 2024, this is the first of three individual poetry projects that I committed to complete as a 2024 International Human Rights Art Movement (IHRAM) International Fellow.
• What I wrote to IHRAM Executive Director Tom Block upon submission:

For this collection, "Datuterte: Imagined Confessions, 2024," I assumed the (despotic, brutal, chauvinist, misogynist, condescending, foulmouthed, etc.) persona of the previous Philippine president, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, and via a series of portrait poetry and prose attempted a fictional autobiography which narrative arc begins and ends with his contemplation on his current situation: now that rumors are rife about the imminence of his arrest by the International Criminal Court over his alleged crimes against humanity, mainly the extrajudicial killings committed during his brutal “war on drugs” that claimed tens of thousands of lives.

Imagined but based on the subject’s actual statements and reliable news reports, the persona narrates his childhood, young adulthood, and his political career that began with his appointment as OIC vice-mayor of Davao City and ended when he finished his six-year term as president of the Philippines. In his stories, he speaks of the multitude of fatal crimes under his separate administrations as mayor then president; including the ones he purportedly committed himself – straight from his own mouth as factual statements, or tough talk to pander to his fanatical supporters, or both.

The fictional narration delves into the psychology and personal background of an autocrat, along with the social and political milieus within which each select slice of the storyteller’s life was lived, and the crimes he committed personally and/or under his leadership. Insights are also shared on how and why a significant number of a populace end up embracing fascistic propaganda and supporting tyrannical and (therefore) anti-human rights policies as possible solutions for social ills, preponderantly for the perceived or actual breakdown of law and order.

At the very least, I hope that this small collection will serve as a quick reference for any student of contemporary Philippine history, specifically about the administration of the 16^th president of the republic (2016 to 2022) that is now widely considered as the most murderous and with the highest number of human rights violations when it comes to state-sanctioned violence.

• A positive review from Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Nominee poet Gretchen Filart:
