what is the meaning and usage of these tagolog words?
Kaso---meaning found is case (as in court case)
Saken--meaning found is mine
Jota--I assume this is more of a slang word, possibly referring to kids?
Mangyayori--Not much found on this one.Is mangyayori possibly nangyayori? Found for nangyari is "history"

Kaso could mean 'case' or 'but' depending on how you use it.
ex: Magsampa ng kaso. - File a case or sue someone.
Papunta na ako kaso inutasan ako ng nanay ko. - I was on my way but my mother sent me on an errand.
Saken or sakin is a shortcut for 'sa akin' which means 'mine.'
es: Sa akin ito. - This is mine.
Mangyayari is the correct word. It means 'will happen.'
ex: Ano kaya ang mangyayari sa kanya. - I wonder what's going to happen to him/her.
I am unfamiliar with the word 'jota'.

It is Mangyayari not Mangyayori.
Mangyayari is the future tense of Nagyayari. Nagyayari is the continuous tense.
Manyayari means "will happen". Nangyayari means "happening"
