To Build or Rebuild/Transcript

(we see Inggo building something)

Inggo: Aaah!

Karen: Huh? Huh? Inggo, Inggo! That happened?

Inggo: I was trying to build my ponduhan!

(the word 'build' appears)

Karen: You mean 'rebuild' your ponduhan, Inggo.

(the prefix 're' is added on 'build')

Inggo: ''Ayo ko na. Hindi ako talaga kaya to.''

Karen: Of course you can. You just have to keep on trying! You can achieve anything!

Inggo: ''Kapag may tiyaga, may liyaga? Ganon?''

Karen: Right! You have to keep on trying! Never give up! Never, never, never, never., never!

Inggo: Okay, I will build my ponduhan!

(the word appears again)

Karen: 'Rebuild', Inggo.

(the prefix adds itself again)

Karen: 'Rebuild', because you're going to build it again!

Inggo: Build! Rebuild! What difference does it make?

(Karen asks him to walk to the wooden bench)

Karen: Instead of saying that you will build it again, by adding the prefix 're-', which means again,

Inggo: 'build' becomes 'rebuild'?

Karen: Yes, that's because of prefix!

(the word 'prefix' appears)

Inggo: Ah, prefix! E, ano 'yun?

Karen: Prefix. Prefix is a group of letters that you add at the beginning of the word.

Inggo: Like 're-'!

Karen: Correct, exactly. 'Re-' means 'again'.

(the words 're- = again' appear, with 're-' in yellow)

Inggo: Hmm, then the meaning of the word changes.

Karen: Mhmm.

Inggo: And then? A, alam ku na. Instead of saying 'I will build it again,' I will say, 'rebuild'.

Karen: Exactly! Even 'prefix' is a good example,

(the words 'pre- = to go before' appear, with 'pre-' in yellow)

Karen: that means 'to go before'.

Inggo: 'To go before'. Makes sense! You added at the beginning of a word!

Karen: Ah! I got it!

Inggo: To build, or to rebuild. That is the question. ''Sige na, dali! 'yan!''

(the transition this time is a house that deconstructs itself)

Narrator: I am taking my vegetables to the market today! But how will I load these vegetables here to my boat? There is no one to help me! (pause) Hmm, easy. First, I will unload the vegetables. (grunts) There! (pants) Then, I will reload the vegetables one after the other, into the boat! That's right! (grunts) At last! I did it all alone! I have loaded all the vegetables in my boat! Uh, oh, my boat...it's...overloaded! My boat is still floating on the water. Oh, (glubs) now it's underwater. All my vegetables!

(the transition this time is a house that deconstructs itself)

Girl: Inggo, Inggo! I'm going to reheat the salabat, okay, then you can take a break for a while.

(the word 'reheat' appears, with 're' in yellow)

Inggo: Reheat. 'Re', again.

(the words 're- = to heat again' appear, with 're-' in yellow)

Inggo: 'To heat again'! Okay, Karen, I get it!

Girl: He gets what?

Karen: I think he's talking about the prefix 're'.

Girl: Prefix? What about it?

Karen: Huh, about how prefix gives new meaning to a word.

Girl: Hmm, I remember. Our teacher gave examples of prefix, like 'in', and 'dis'.

(the prefixes 'in-' and 'dis-' appear in yellow)

Karen: Hmm, those are good examples of prefixes, but why do you look so confused?

Girl: Why do they some words into...negative words?

Karen: Okay, that's because prefixes like 'in-', 'dis-', and 'un-'

(the prefixes 'in-, 'dis-', and 'un-' appear in yellow)

Karen: mean 'not'.

(the words 'in-, 'dis-, un- = not' appear, with the prefixes (not including commas) in yellow)

Inggo: Mmm, ''teka, teka. Babu naman, ya.''

Karen: There are different kinds of prefixes, Inggo. They all have special meaning, like 'un-', 'dis-', and 'in-' are all samples of prefixes.

(the prefixes 'in-, 'dis-', and 'un-' appear in yellow)

Karen: They mean 'something is not'.

(the words 'in-, 'dis-, un- = not' appear, with the prefixes (not including commas) in yellow)

Karen: Just add it to the word! And if you don't agree, you simply say,

Boy: I disagree!

(the word 'disagree' appears, with 'dis' in yellow)

Boy: and if it's not correct, you say...

Girl: You simply say it's incorrect.

(the word 'incorrect' appears, with 'in' in yellow)

Karen: Oh, goody, goody, goody. Let's all be happy, don't frown and be...

Boy: unhappy.

(the word 'unhappy' appears, with 'un' in yellow)

Karen: You'll never get lost with prefix once you which one to add, and once you know the meaning of the word, I'll repeat it just for the record. 'Un-', 'dis-', and 'in-' are all examples of prefixes.

(the prefixes 'in-, 'dis-', and 'un-' appear in yellow)

Karen: They mean 'not'.

(the words 'in-, 'dis-, un- = not' appear, with the prefixes (not including commas) in yellow)

Boy&Girl: not.

Karen: Try it out, and see what you got!

Inggo: (spits drink) Mas malamig pa to sa ulam na pusay.

Karen: That's why I said I would reheat the salabat, remember?

Inggo: 'Reheat', which means 'to heat again'.

(the word 'reheat' appears, with 're' in yellow)

Inggo: Of course, I remember!

Boy: So, by adding a prefix at the beginning of a word,

Girl: we give that word a new meaning.

Karen: Right! Do you know that we use prefixes every day? Watch.

(Inggo marks wood)

Karen: Mark.

(the word 'mark' appears)

(Inggo erases mark)

Karen: Unmark.

(the word 'unmark' appears, with 'unmark' in yellow)

(Girl pumps water)

Karen: Fill.

(the word 'fill' appears)

(Girl places water in pot, then refills)

Karen: Refill.

(the word 'refill' appears, with 're' in yellow)

(Inggo and Boy talk to each other)

Karen: Agree.

(the word 'agree' appears)

(Inggo and Boy shake their heads in rebuttalment)

Karen: Disagree.

(the word 'disagree' appears, with 'dis' in yellow)

Karen: Isn't it amazing hoe we can change the meaning of the word by adding a prefix? It does, try it!

(transition)

Karen: ♫ Many words are created ♫

♫ by adding letters in the beginning. ♫

♫ These letters are called PREFIXES ♫

♫ They help give words new meaning ♫

♫ Prefixes have special meanings ♫

♫ They give new words new meaning ♫

♫ You simply put them in the beginning ♫

♫ Try them out and see what I mean ♫

Inggo: Oh! Maraming salamat sa tulong ninyo lahat!

Karen: Oh, you're welcome, and thank you, too!

Boy: Come on! Let's try it!

Girl: Let's eat inside!

Karen: Oh, it's about time. I'm hungry.

Boy&Girl&Inggo: Again?

Inggo: Sa bagay, gutom na ako, e. Napagod kasi, ako, e.

Boy: ''Pero, sulit na pagod natin. Naayos natin ang ponduhan!''

Girl: And we learned that prefix give words new meaning!

Inggo: Ah, welcome to my new rebuilt ponduhan!

Inggo: Agh! Agh! This is so unfair!

(the word 'unfair' appears, with 'un' in yellow)

Karen: Ooh,

Boy&Girl&Karen: Unfair! Un! 'Un' means 'not', and 'not fair'! Unfair!

Inggo: Unfair, unfair, unfair!
