isama

Isama is a term with multiple meanings depending on context. In Tagalog, the word is a verb meaning to include, to bring along, or to include someone in a group or plan. It is used transitively and appears in phrases such as “Isama mo ako” meaning “Include me” or “Bring me along,” and “Isama ang pagkain sa bag” meaning “Include the food in the bag.”

As a proper noun, Isama can function as a given name or surname in some communities. In these uses, the form is capitalized as a name, and its meaning, when remembered from the parent language, may be secondary to its role as an identifier within a family or culture.

Because Isama is not tied to a single, universally recognized concept, references to it are typically contextual and language-specific. In linguistic work, it is treated as a Tagalog verb with concrete usage patterns, while in onomastic contexts it is discussed as a personal name. When encountered in text, the intended sense of Isama is usually clear from surrounding language and cultural context.
