So let's do some vocabulary word listing for the most popular Kapampangan folk song: Atin Ku Pung Singsing to widen our Kapampangan vocabulary.
(The following words are in K-orthography.)
timpukan - jewelled
iti - p. this; unlike ini, it includes the person being spoken to, e.g. ing singsing a ini (this ring), ing singsing a iti (this ring [which belongs to the two of us])
indu - n. mother
sangkan - adv. neatly, properly, carefully
sukal ning lub - fig. heartache
banua - n. heaven, sky
kalulu - adj. poor
manginu - v. to worship, from root word ginu, or lord
Bonus: ArtiSta. Rita performance of the song with a different, Broadway touch.
