Alibata - Examples of the Kapampangan Language

Examples:

"The man arrived."

Ikit neng Juan i Maria.
"John saw Maria."

Munta la ri Elena at Robertu king bale nang Miguel./Munta la di Elena at Robertu king bale nang Miguel.
"Elena and Roberto will go to Miguel's house."

Nukarin la ring libro?
"Where are the books?"

Ibie ke ing susi kang Carmen.
[Note: direct translation = I will give the key to Carmen] "I will give Carmen the key." [Note: better translation = I will give the key to Carmen] *** of course, the meanings are the same; it's just a matter of sentence construction.
