"Kinain ko ang tinapay kaninang umaga." and "Kumain ako ng tinapay kaninang umaga."
How would I translate these two sentences in English? I was wondering what the difference between the conjugation "um" and "in" were in the sentence too and also the difference between "ako" and ko". I'm really lost right now. Please help me. :)

"Kinain ko ang tinapay kaninang umaga."
I ate the bread this morning.
"Kumain ako ng tinapay kaninang umaga."
I ate bread this morning.
VERB (Eat)
Base Form- Eat (kain)
Past Tense- Ate (Kumain)
Past Participle Tense- Eaten (Kinain / Nakakain / Nakain)
KO
ko pron. I, my, mine
ako
ak´o pron. first person singular num- ber pronoun meaning I, me
“Ko” is the contraction of “ako”. It is used in many ways. Actually, it’s kinda hard to explain how since Filipino Language is quite complicated. It depends on how you’ll use the term “ko.”
KO
ko, pron.
my, I
ang libro ko
= ang aking libro
my book
ang bahay ko
= ang aking bahay
my house
Kinakain ko ito.
I eat this.
Another form of this word: kong
Mahal kong anak
My dear child
Mahal kong mga kababayan
My dear compatriots

Both sentences have the same meaning which is "I ate the bread this morning." The use of KO and AKO is dependent on the verb. For "um" type of verb (as in kUMain), "ako" is used as subject, with kINain, "ko" must be used. "Ako" is used when the focus is yourself, while "ko" if the focus is a verb or noun. Ako and ko, although they both refer to the speaker are not interchangable.

I agree with JoYcE... both these sentences are translated to: "I ate the bread this morning"
"kain" is the tagalog root verb means "eat". In english, we use 'affix' (such as prefix & suffix) to produce an inflected or derived form. we call it in tagalog 'panlapi' (unlapi - beginning, gitlapi - middle, hulapi - end) as in "UM" & "IN" usually added to a verb.
the two tagalog sentences however, differ from the way they're asked:
"Kinain ko ang tinapay kaninang umaga" (what did you eat this morning?) .... answer = 'tinapay' (bread) - noun
"Kumain ako ng tinapay kaninang umaga" (what did you do this morning?).....answer = 'kumain' (ate) - verb.

i never studied the patterns of grammars but for me 1.) is intentional and 2.) is unintentional..
@mataripis. if 2) is unintentional, it should've been.. Nakain ko ang tinapay...
both sentences seem OK to me.
