tatanggapin

Tatanggapin is a verb form in Filipino languages, notably Tagalog, meaning “to accept” or “to receive” and is used to express a future action directed at a direct object. For example, Tatanggapin ko ang alok translates to “I will accept the offer.”

Grammatically, tatanggapin comes from the root tanggap (to accept/receive) with the -in suffix, which marks the verb for object focus, and is used in a future-tense construction. The form indicates that the subject will actively accept or receive something in the future, with the object appearing after ang or another directing phrase.

Common usages include making promises or stating intentions about accepting invitations, offers, or requests. Examples include: Tatanggapin ko ang alok; Tatanggapin namin ang paanyaya; Tatanggapin nila ang regalo. The exact sentence structure can vary with pronouns and context, but the core meaning remains conditional on a future acceptance.

Related forms include tanggap (the root), tanggapin (infinitive “to accept”), pagtanggap (noun meaning “acceptance” or “reception”). Other related forms reflect different tenses or voices, such as tinatanggap (present/ongoing acceptance) or natanggap (was accepted).

In usage, tatanggapin exemplifies how Tagalog verbs encode tense and voice through affixes. The nuance of future acceptance depends on the surrounding sentence and pronoun placement, making tatanggapin a useful form for expressing intended actions regarding accepting something in the future.
