A Strange Word: Mga
The word mga is an unusual looking word for English language speakers.
It is a word commonly used in the Filipino language to indicate something is plural.
It's important to know that "mga" is pronounced like: "mangá" (not muh-gah). It's pronounced this way because the word "mga" is a shortened version of the word "manga", which is no longer in common use.
