Ginagamit

Ginagamit is a Filipino verb form derived from the root word gamit, meaning "use" or "utilization." It is commonly described as the present tense passive form of that root, used to indicate that something is being used, or is typically used, by someone or something else.

Tagalog verbs mark voice and aspect with affixes. Ginagamit belongs to the set that forms passive voice and expresses current or habitual usage. Related forms include ginamit (past tense passive, "was used"), gamitin (infinitive, "to use"), and gagamitin or gagamit (future passive, "will be used").

Usage: The form often appears in sentences describing tools, methods, or resources in everyday language and in writing. The agent performing the action may be omitted or indicated with ni or ng. Examples: "Ginagamit ang walis para linisin ang sahig." "Ginagamit ng guro ang pisara sa klase." "Gagamitin natin ang bagong makina sa produksiyon."

Notes: Ginagamit is common in Filipino, with regional varieties; it is distinct from gamit (the noun "tool" or "use") and gamitin (to use). It functions to convey that something is being utilized or employed, rather than who uses it.
