Question

Difference between siya and niya?
hello,

can someone give a quick explanation on when to use Siya and Niya?
They both mean he/she correct?

Answer

Siya is an indirect pronoun meaning him/her, but niya is a possessive pronoun meaning his/hers.

"Malakas siya." = "She is strong."
"Mahal ang kotse nya." = "His car is expensive."

Answer

Exactly so.  Personally, I find direct comparisons especially helpful, so:

Magaling siya = He/she is talented
"Ang galing niya" = (literally) "The talent of him/her", which is a common way of saying "He's talented" in Tagalog.
