Talk:Tagalog/Lesson 2

Iyán and Iyón
I encountered some mistakes in the explanation about the difference between iyán and iyón. Iyán is really used when the person or object being referenced is far from the speaker but near the listener. Iyón is used when the said person or object is far from both the speaker and the listener. See also the Tagalog tutorial in the Seasite page. I'm going to make some corrections in this article. -- Perryv 17:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

From what littleI know of the language I find it hard to believe the translations are accurate: isn't makilala, for example, correctly here used only when refering to a male? The dialog uses it for a male, but the translation is not that specific.
