"@jkos Hah! It did not occur to me that either of them was an AI output. So, I am impressed at how AI rehashed the original text. It could have passed for a human output. Except for that “g” in “kinakaiinisan”, all of AI’s sentences are grammatically correct. What I noticed though was that Version 2 is a toned-down and a less informal retelling of Version 1. For a literary work of the thriller genre, the result comes across as less engaging. Had I not seen the text and only heard the vid..."

"@Juantutri Ah, thank you...interesting. OK, so I can fess up... I read the original version (version #1) and was unsure about a couple of phrase choices by the writer (as a foreign language learner, I had trouble figuring out why they picked the version of saying what they did). So I ran it through the my artificial intelligence program asking it to "correct any errors or make it sound better," and the AI came back with version #2. Sometimes the AI said it like I would have, and other times it j..."

"Each version has its own merits so I can’t say that one, as a whole, is better than the other. Here’s my take on their differences – the numbers represent the source version: “naramdaman ko agad (1)” vs. “agad kong naramdaman (2)” – same meaning, but for a literary work, I find (2) as a more effective way of saying it. “merong/mayroong ” vs. “may” – both are correct, but the flow of words would sound smoother with “may”. “kasuklam -suklam (1)” vs. “nakakasuklam (a..."

"@calinga The stress is on the same syllable where it would be had the adjective been used in a singular case. For example: Kapa``l (thickness) – makapa``l (thick) – makakapa``l Ta``las (sharpness) - mata``las (sharp) – matata``las Tahi``mik (silent/quiet) - matahi``mik (silent/quiet) – matatahi``mik Some root words don’t have any stressed syllables. When they become adjectives, the first syllable is usually stressed. Layo` (distance) = mala``yo` (far) - malala``yo` Haba` (..."

"@Juantutri Thank you for the explanation! I was surprised because I had not picked up much on this but good to know it's not some malalim na tagalog or something unnecessary. I've already picked it up more in the podcasts I've been listening to since asking this question! Would you say it's common to intentionally not stress the added part of the root word? Like make sure it's said malalakÍ (quickly saying "malala") as opposed to maLAlakÍ? And this would maybe help indicate that it's definitely n..."
