How can you tell someone you are claiming a thing to be yours just now?
This is the situation:
My brother bought three burgers, he gave one to me, one to my sister, then my other brother don't like to have one. So i take the last burger. And told him "akin na lang to" (filipino). It's not a question. It's like ur just claiming it without waiting for his approval. It's somehow synonymous to "finder's keeper". Can anyone translate it to english?

Ey neil, hindi nya gusto kasi busog sya. XD by the way, it's 'binili ng Kuya mo' not "bumili ang Kuya mo"
The burger is a direct object. Kapag inuna ang direct object (like in passive voice), then followed by 'na' the verb must be 'k-in-uha' (kuha is the root word) (insert an 'in)
Examples:
Ang cellphone na b-in-ili ni John (bili=buy)
Ang damit na s-in-ukat (sukat=measure)

Kevin is right :) Bakit hindi niya gusto ang Burger na bumili ang Kuya mo? :)

"Now it's mine" would work well.
