How do you say a in Tagalog?

"A" in Tagalog can be expressed in a few ways depending on the context:

1. As a definite article "the":

* Ang: This is the most common way to say "the".

* Example: Ang libro (The book)

2. As an indefinite article "a" or "an":

* Isang: This is used for singular, countable nouns.

* Example: Isang mansanas (An apple)

* Isang can also be used to express "one"

* Example: Isang araw (One day)

3. As part of a compound word:

* Sometimes, "a" is integrated into a Tagalog word.

* Example: Araw (sun/day) - This is a compound word from "a-raw"

Important Note: There is no direct equivalent for the indefinite article "a" in Tagalog, but "Isang" covers most situations.
