Difference between maka- affix and kaya ? Hello! I would like to know if there is any difference between the affix maka- expressing the ability and the word kaya (or may-kaya) that can express competence, ability, skills, sufficient power... Halimbawa: Hindi niya kayang tumakbo Hindi siya nakatatakbo. In my dictionary, they seem to say that they are interchangeable. If so, is there one prefered to another and in which conditions (or one more native)? Salamat!
