What the pattern shows
Busog runs through Tagalog, the Visayan languages and Bikol. Ilocano nabsogakon is the same root with the person attached to it — the construction the pronouns guide sets out, where a whole sentence fits inside one word.
Where they agree
- Busog na ako — Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Waray
Standing alone: English (I'm full), Ilocano (Nabsogakon), Cebuano (Busog na ko), Bikol (Basog na ako), Kapampangan (Mabsi na ku) and Pangasinan (Napesel ak).
