Playing?

To play with a to is maglaro.

To play a musical instrument is tumugtog.

What is the Tagalog equivalent of “play” in the following sentence?:
“I fell asleep while the video/TV/radio was still playing.”

Would it be 'Bukas' (not as 'tomorrow') but as 'open' or 'on' ?

@TLDCAdmin

We don’t use “playing” in that sense, especially, about the video and TV.

As @stevesmi commented, “bukás” (turned on) is what we might use.

Possible ways of saying “I fell asleep while the video/TV/radio was still playing” in Filipino:

Nakatulog akó habang bukás ang TV/radio. = I fell asleep while the TV/radio was on.

Nakatulog akó habang nanónoód ng video/TV. = I fell asleep while watching the video/TV.

Nakatulog ako habang nakíkiníg ng radyo. = I fell asleep while listening to the radio.

The closest it can get to the idea of “playing” is with the radio. We can say:

Nakatulog ako habang tumútugtóg ang radyo. = I fell asleep while the radio was playing music.
