isisimulan

isisimulan is a verb form used in Filipino (Tagalog) to express that something will be started or begun, typically in a future or upcoming time frame. It derives from the root simula, meaning to begin, and participates in the language’s voice and aspect system to convey that the initiating action is directed at an object or situation, with the agent sometimes implied or stated.

In practical terms, isisimulan functions as a future passive or object-focused construction. It is commonly used in clauses where the emphasis is on the initiation of an action rather than on who starts it. The form is most often encountered in formal or written contexts, as well as in planning or scheduling discussions.

Usage of isisimulan can be seen in everyday sentences such as: Ang proyekto ay isisimulan sa susunod na buwan (The project will be started next month). Kailan isisimulan ang proyekto? (When will the project be started?). Isisimulan din ang pagsasanay pagkatapos ng evaluasyon (The training will also be started after the evaluation). These examples illustrate how isisimulan marks the anticipated initiation of an event or process, with the noun following the marker indicating what is to be started.

Notes and variation: Tagalog verbs often exhibit regional and stylistic variation in spoken language, and forms related to isisimulan can appear in related constructions such as isisimula or isisimulan, depending on focus, voice, and formality. In many contexts, isisimulan is understood alongside other beginning-focused forms like simula (to begin) and isimula (to start something).
