kanako

== Cebuano == === Alternative forms === nako — short form === Etymology === The first element, common to all oblique pronouns, is ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *ka (“personal oblique marker”), whence kang and archaic ka (“plural personal oblique marker”). Thus analyzable as kang + akò. Compare Ilocano kaniak, Kapampangan kaku. === Pronunciation === (Standard Cebuano) IPA(key): /kaˈnakoʔ/ [kɐˈn̪a.koʔ] Hyphenation: ka‧na‧ko === Pronoun === kanakò (Badlit spelling ᜃᜈᜃᜓ) to me; for me; with me; at me (oblique first person singular) Synonyms: (colloquial) sa ako, sa akoa gihatag niya kanako ― he gave it to me anaa kanako ang yawi ― I have the key (literally, “the key is with me”) nagtan-aw sila kanako ― they were looking at me ==== Usage notes ==== Oblique forms are almost always substituted with their short form (in this case, nako) anywhere in a sentence. The full form may be used to give a sense of formality. === See also ===
