nagdudulot

Nagdudulot is a Filipino verb form derived from the root dulot, which means an effect or consequence. The prefix nag- indicates a present, ongoing action performed by a subject, so nagdudulot translates roughly as “is causing” or “brings about.” It is commonly used with the phrase ng to link a cause to its effect, as in nagdudulot ng pagbabago or nagdudulot ng problema.

In usage, nagdudulot emphasizes causality and the producer of an outcome. It describes how certain actions, conditions, or events lead to results, often of social, environmental, or personal significance. The construction is frequent in news reporting, essays, public discourse, and everyday speech when discussing consequences.

Examples include:

- Ang polusyon sa hangin ay nagdudulot ng sakit sa mga residente. (Air pollution is causing illness among residents.)

- Ang kapabayaan sa kalikasan ay nagdudulot ng pagbaha tuwing bumubuhos ang malakas na ulan.

- Ang mabilis na urbanisasyon ay nagdudulot ng pagtaas ng traffic at paggamit ng resources.

Related terms include dulot, the noun meaning “effect,” and the future form dudulot to express what will be caused. Nagdudulot thus functions as a versatile, neutral descriptor of cause-and-effect relationships in Filipino prose and dialogue.
