What are words that end in ing tagalog?

There are no words in Tagalog that end in "-ing" in the same way that English uses the "-ing" suffix.

Here's why:

* Tagalog verbs don't have a direct equivalent of the "-ing" suffix. They use different grammatical constructions to express continuous action.

* Tagalog is an agglutinative language. This means words are formed by adding suffixes and prefixes to a base word. "-ing" is not a common suffix in Tagalog.

Instead of "-ing", Tagalog uses:

* "na" or "nang" + verb stem to indicate a continuous action in the past. Example: "Naglalakad" (walking)

* "nag" + verb stem to indicate a continuous action in the present. Example: "Naglalaro" (playing)

Example:

* English: "He is singing."

* Tagalog: "Kumakanta siya." (literally: "He is singing.")
