prefix “pa”
In Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), the prefix “pa” is used to indicate a causative or future aspect of a verb. When attached to the root word “mati,” which means “listen,” the prefix “pa” transforms it into “pamati,” which means “to make someone listen” or “to listen” in a future sense. It’s a way to either cause an action to happen or to express an action that will happen12. So, in the case of “pamati,” the “pa” conjugation is causative or future-oriented.
