Tagalog, how to say 'he said', 'she said'? Can some one help clear this up for me. Sabi niya, sabi nya, sinabi nya and sabinya. Are all of these correct and do they just mean the same thing? If so, which is best to use and is it interchangeable for 'he said' and 'she said'.

Sabi niya is correct. The others can be used but only in text messages/chat cos filipinos tend to shorten words to save space but technically they are not correct. Tagalog doesn't have gender pronouns so you can use sabi niya for both genders :D
