what does nag mean in ilicano?

Question

Answer

Your question is not so clear. Do you wish to ask what the English verb "Nag" is in the Ilocano Dialect or do you mean to ask how to translate the Pilipino prefix "Nag" in the Ilocano dialect.

Answer

It is not clear to me if "nag" means anything in Ilocano.
But if you need some help with other Ilocano/ Filipino words, don't hesitate to contact me.

Answer

nag is a prefix used in most tagalog words to change its tense into present and past tense:

for example:

nag + luto(cook) [root word] = nag-luto [cooked]
nag + luluto (cook) = nag-luluto [cooking]

to make a verb change it's form into present tense, we usually write the first syllable twice ,then add the prefix  "nag" like in "nag-luluto".
