Learn Ilocano: Addan and Awanen

Naimbag nga rabii. (Good evening)
Happy weekend everyone. Let's say hi to ADDAN and AWANEN.
(Video with subtitles)

Awanen (All gone/None left)
= when you're out of items you used to have before.

Addan (I have now/Now I have it)
= when you gain something you previously don't have

Adda pay agas mo? (Do you still have medicine?)
Awanen. (I'm out of medicine now)
Adda agas mon? (Do you have medicine now?)
Addan. (I have now)

Adda pay kwartam? (Do you still have money?)
Awanen. (I don't have money now/I'm out of money)
Awan pay kwartam? (You still don't have money?)
Addan. (I have now)

Also on this video ----- Oh well, let's just have examples.
On our previous video, we learned how to say "I have/I don't have."

Examples
Adda balay ko. (I have a house)
Adda kwartak. (I have money)
Adda lugan ko. (I have a car)
Adda asok. (I have a dog)

Above examples, nouns ending in vowel, add letter K. And for nouns ending in consonants, use KO.

Now, let's ask questions.
Asking questions = noun ending in vowels, add letter M. For nouns ending in consonants, use MO.

Adda balay mo? (Do you have a house?)
Awan balay ko. (I don't have a house)

Adda balay mo? (Do you have a house?)
Adda balay ko. (I have a house)

Adda asom? (Do you have a dog?)
Adda asok. (I have a dog)
Awan asok. (I don't have a dog)
