Linker "ka": How to use it in a sentence

Hi mga higala (Hi Friends!), today, we are going to talk about the linker "ka".

Don't be confuse with the personal pronoun "ka" that means "you". As always, I will give you some examples to better understand this topic.

The linker "ka" is used to link a number and the phrase or word it modifies. The "buok" can be added which means "whole" or "piece".

# + ka + word/phrase it modifies

Sample sentences

Tulo ka babaye - 3 girls/ladies/ women
Usa ka selebrasyon - one celebration
Naa ko'y dos mil (2k) ka subscribers - I have 2 thousand subscribers
Napulo ka butang - 10 things

With "kabuok"

Pila ka buok chocolates gipalit nimo? - How many chocolates did you buy?

Conversation:
Customer: Papalita ko ug kendi (candy) - let me buy candy
Sarisari store seller: Pila kabuok kendi imong paliton?
Customer: duha kabuok

You can use "ka" when asking questions like this...
Pila ka chocolates gipalit nimo?
How many chocolates did you buy?

Exemption:
When talking about "price"
Do not use "ka"

sample phrases:
Tulo cinco - 3 for P5.00
Lima diez - 5 for P10.00

Use the "ka" when you are referring to quantity
If you put the "ka" in the phrase above, it will give a different meaning.

For example:
Tulo ka cinco - three fives
Tulo ka buok cinco - three fives
Lima ka buok diez - five tens
