Una, gumawa lang tayo ng pagsusuri kung ano ang katinig, at kung ano ang patinig.
00:46
The English alphabet has 26 letters. 21 are consonants and 5 are vowels.

01:19
It has that unique /y/ consonant sound.
19
79628
4023
Mayroon itong kakaibang /y/ tunog na katinig.
01:23
But it doesn't always have that consonant sound.
20
83651
3949
Ngunit hindi ito palaging may katinig na tunog.
01:27
Let's move on.
21
87600
1372
Mag-move on na tayo.
01:29
‘y’ can make many vowel sounds.
22
89040
2598
Ang 'y' ay maaaring gumawa ng maraming tunog ng patinig.
01:31
Let's look at the board.
23

1962
Tingnan natin ang board.
01:33
‘y’ can make the long e sound.
24
93600
2970
'y' ay maaaring gumawa ng mahabang e tunog.
01:36
Like ‘candy’ or ‘monkey’.
25
96570
4870
Parang 'candy' o 'unggoy'.
01:41
‘y’ can make the short i sound.
26
101440
3212
Magagawa ng 'y' ang maikling tunog na i.
01:44
Like ‘gym’ or ‘bicycle’ or ‘system’.
27
104652
6148
Tulad ng 'gym' o 'bisikleta' o 'system'.
01:50
‘y’ can make the long i sound. Like ‘my’ or ‘sky’.
28
110880
6909
Ang 'y' ay nakakapagpahaba ng i tunog. Parang 'my' or 'sky'.
01:57
‘y’ is considered to be a vowel if:
29
117789
2931
Ang 'y' ay itinuturing na isang patinig kung:
02:00
Number one.
30
120720
1410
Numero uno.
02:02
The word has no other vowel like ‘gym’.
31
122130
4030
Ang salita ay walang ibang patinig tulad ng 'gym'.
02:06
All English words need at least one vowel.
32
126160
3838
Ang lahat ng salitang Ingles ay nangangailangan ng kahit isang patinig.
02:09
So ‘gym’ has ‘y’ as the vowel.
33
129998
3053
Kaya ang 'gym' ay may 'y' bilang patinig.
02:13
Or ‘my’ or ‘sky’.
34
133120
4030
O 'aking' o 'langit'.
02:17
Number two.
35
137150
1127
Bilang dalawa.
02:18
The letter is at the end of a  word or syllable like ‘candy’. 
36
138400
5120
Ang titik ay nasa dulo ng isang salita o pantig tulad ng 'candy'.
02:23
It's at the end. Or ‘bicycle’. 
37
143520
3521
Nasa dulo na. O 'bisikleta'.
02:27
‘bicycle’ has three syllables ‘bi-cy-cle’.
38
147120
5028
Ang 'bisikleta' ay may tatlong pantig na 'bi-cy-cle'.
02:32
The ‘y’ is at the end of the second syllable.
39
152148
3353
Ang 'y' ay nasa dulo ng ikalawang pantig.
02:35
‘bicycle’
40
155600
1643
'bisikleta'
02:37
Or three, the letter is in the middle of a syllable like ‘system’.
41
157243
6631
O tatlo, ang titik ay nasa gitna ng isang pantig tulad ng 'sistema'.
02:43
‘system’ has two syllables.
42
163874
2578
Ang 'sistema' ay may dalawang pantig.
02:46
‘sys-tem’
43
166452
1593
'sys-tem'
02:48
It needs a vowel.
44
168045
1495
Kailangan nito ng patinig.
02:49
So ‘system’ The ‘y’ is the vowel.
45
169600
4780
Kaya 'system' Ang 'y' ay ang patinig.
02:54
All right. Let's move on.
46
174380
2705
Lahat tama. Mag-move on na tayo.
02:57
Is ‘y’ a vowel?
47
177085
1714
Ang 'y' ba ay isang patinig?
02:58
Well ‘y’ is more commonly pronounced as a  vowel, but officially, it is a consonant. 
48
178960
6720
Ang 'y' ay mas karaniwang binibigkas bilang isang patinig, ngunit opisyal na ito ay isang katinig.
03:05
But it is very common for English  teachers, when teaching the vowels,  
49
185680
4640
Ngunit karaniwan na para sa mga guro sa Ingles, kapag nagtuturo ng mga patinig,
03:10
to teach ‘a e i o u and sometimes y’.
50
190320
6887
na magturo ng 'aeiou at kung minsan ay y'.
