What does "Niyang" mean in english?
I found this word from one of Gloc 9's songs (Blues Niyang Itim) in "Diploma". I would also like to know how that word can be used in many ways.

"niyang" (niya'ng) is a contraction of "niya na" used to show possesion (possesive noun):
"ang itim niya na (niya'ng) sapatos.' ("his/her black shoes.")
"ang mabait niya'ng aso." ("his/her kind dog.")
sometimes, you'll likely to hear "kaniya'ng (kaniya na) in contemporary tagalog:
"ang kaniya'ng itim na sapatos." ("his/her black shoes.")
"ang kaniya'ng mabait na aso." ("his/her knid dog.")
did you notice the difference?
(note: more often than not, in writing tagalog sentences, we disregard the apostrophe mark and write it as spelled.)
"blues niya'ng itim." could just be a punning of "blusa niya'ng itim" ("his/her black graduation gown/robe") - commonly seen worn by graduating student.
