@shane actually most of the tagalog language is hard to translate in english. lets me give an idea for this. first of all the word that you trying to ask which is "nga" is hard to pronuonced in the form of writing.you need to hear it.. while the word "ng' can be pronounce as "nang' but sometimes adding ng in tagalog language will change the statement. example. Para sa iyo ito=this is for you. Parang sa iyo ito= seems this yours so you will see the difference when you add ng but in some sentence it will not take affect. example. ito payong=this umbrella itong payong=this umbrella well i hope that i give you some idea to your question by the way if you have another one just ask it and we will answer. wish you best in learning tagalog.. cowboy..

Wow, this is hard to explain.... Let's say for instance: kangaroo (this is how you suppose to pronounce it: KANG-GU-ROO). from the word 'KANG', omit the 'K' and you will have 'ANG' - pronounced as spelled. Try to omit the 'A' and you will end up with 'NG' that when promounced, it uses your throught and breath comes from the the nose and not the mouth. This sounds a bit odd as if you're just humming a sound of it. Finally, you add an 'A' to the last part of 'NG', making it 'NGA'. The 'A' would be a hard and very short when pronounced just like"at" or "cut". "NGA" by definition would mean: "surely" or certainly", or could be a word to express politeness. ex: "Oo nga!" - 'yes, for sure' or 'yes certainly' "Pahingi nga?" - "Could I have some?" "NG" can be pronounced as "nuhng (nang)", but i don't think english has this word. Let's just say "evening". "NING" is pronounced as is, right? replace "i" to "a" and you'll get to know how to pronounce it. good luck! :)
