iyong

Iyong is a Filipino word that serves as a possessive pronoun, specifically indicating possession by the second person singular or plural. It is equivalent to "your" or "yours" in English. The word "iyong" is used to denote something that belongs to the person being addressed. For example, in a sentence like "Iyong libro ay nandito na" (Your book is here already), "iyong" clearly signifies that the book belongs to the person being spoken to.

The usage of "iyong" can vary slightly depending on context and formality, though it remains a fundamental part of Filipino grammar for indicating ownership by the listener. It is a direct and commonly used term in everyday conversation. Understanding "iyong" is crucial for comprehending possessive relationships in the Filipino language.
