So this question is about the "presentatives". Excuse the spelling as thats how it was provided to me.
Hali/Hale, heto, hayan
ari, eto, ayan, ayon
yari (no yeto) ayan, and yaon
Could anyone confirm that these are the same or different?
Zorc seems to suggest that there are 2/3 different sets, however many speakers don't consistently distinguish the forms. There is a debate as to whether or not there are semantic differences between the 2/3 sets of presntatives. Like voila in French these words are used to introduce a new topic.
Ayun na siya!
Eto ang amerikana mo.
Etc etc.
Edit: I should add that we're looking for "how tagalog is used" not "how it should be used". Even if it goes against the KWF mandates, try and describe it how it is used; not how the KWF wants it to be used.
