# Kapampangan/Where Are You From?
## Part A: Description

In this lesson we learn how to express where you live and where you come from. We will also see a few more common phrases for introductions.
For e.g., although komustá, means both hello and how are you?, the phrase komustá na ka means more exclusively how are you?. You recognise the word ka, which stands for íka and means you. The new word na, means now.
See the translations of the following sentences:
| You come in | Lungúb ka |
| You come from England | Meníbat ka England |
As you see, the preposition from and in are missing, but the verb come is translated in two completely different ways, lungúb and meníbat. This is because the meaning of the preposition is included in the verb. This is a bit like if the Kapampangan language was using verbs like enter and originate, which do mean come in and come from in English, but are less popular.
On top of coming from, we want to be able to say I live in .... Live is translated makatuknáng.
Here are a number of essentials words for this lesson:
| nukarín | where |
| péro Span. | but |
| keng | in |
| kéni | here |
| ánta | how, how about |
| mekéni | welcome, come here, come among us |
| salámat | thanks, thank you |
Finally, we need to talk about 2 unusual phrase formations:
* naman is a word that has no meaning in itself, but indicates that the phrase is a response to the question. It is infrequently used, but in some expressions like and answer to Komustá? Could be Mayáp naman, which we can translate simply Good, but naman indicates that the preceding word or phrase is the answer expected, and not the start of (for e.g.) another sentence (like Mayáp a yábak).
* taga- is a prefix that is attached to a location (or a word that substitutes to a location, like nukarín ) and means come-from-X or is-from-X. E.g. Taga-Tarlác ku which means I am from Tarlac or I come from Tarlac.

## Part B Application

Read the following conversation and try to understand it, referring to the explanations above.
George has now been accepted for his new Job. The next day he meets Kevin in front of the office to start work and Kevin introduces him to the team. :
| George | - Hi Kevin, Komustá na ka? |
| Kevin | - Mayáp naman, salámat. Lungúb ka. |
| George and Kevin enter the offices and meet Lisa, Bob's assistant. ||
| Kevin | - Hello Lisa, íni y George. |
| Lisa | - Hi George, mekéni. |
| George | - Salámat. |
| Lisa | - Taga-nukarín ka? |
| George | - Taga-Tarlác ku. Ánta íka? |
| Lisa | - Taga-Bacolór ku, péro makatuknáng ku kéni, king Angelés Cíty. Ay, íni y Katy. |
| Katy is another team member working in Bob's team. ||
| George | - Hi Katy. Taga-nukarín ka? |
| Katy | - Menibát ku England. |
| George | - Péro makatuknáng ka kéné? |
| Katy | - Wa, makatuknáng ku Pampánga, king Angelés Cíty. |
In case you didn't understand every word, let us go through this conversation again step by step:
| Speaker | Kapampangan | English translation | Very literally |
| George | Hi Kevin, Komustá na ka? | Hi Kevin, how are you? | Hi Kevin, how are you now? |
| Kevin | Mayáp naman, salámat. Lungúb ka. | Very well thank you. Come in. | Good <response>, thanks. Enter you. |
| Kevin | Hello Lisa, íni y George. | Hello Lisa, this is George. | Hello Lisa, this <name>George. |
| Lisa | Hi George, mekéni. | Hi, George, welcome. | Hi, George, come-in/welcome. |
| George | Salámat. | Thanks. | Thanks |
| Lisa | Taga-nukarín ka? | So, where are your from? | From-where you? |
| George | Taga-Tarlác ku. Ánta íka? | I am from Tarlac. And what about you? | From-Tarlac me. How about you? |
| Lisa | Taga-Bacolór ku, péro makatuknáng ku kéni, keng Angelés Cíty. | I am from Bacolor, but I live here in Angeles City. | From-Bacolor me, but live I here, in Angeles City. |
| Lisa | Ay, íni y Katy. | Oh, this is Katy. | Oh, this <name>Katy. |
| George | Hi Katy. Taga-nukarín ka? | Hi Katy, and where are you from? | Hi Katy, from-where you? |
| Katy | Menibát ku England. | I come from England. | Originate I England. |
| George | Péro makatuknáng ka kéni? | But do you live here? | But live you here? |
| Katy | Wa, makatuknáng ku Pampánga, king Angelés Cíty. | Yes, I live in Pampanga, in Angeles City. | Yes, live I Pampanga, in Angeles City. |
