View Monolingual Tagalog definition of balikat »
Root: balikat
Usage Notes:"Right shoulder" is "kanang balikat" and "left shoulder" is "kaliwang balikat".
"Kanan" (right) and "kaliwa" (left) are modifiers that you add "na" to (kanan + na = kanang; kaliwa + na = kaliwang) to link it to the word it modifies.
Unlike other modifiers (adjectives or adverbs), these 2 words won't work correctly if you will place them after the word they modify. To say "balikat na kanan" or "balikat na kaliwa" would mean to us like "right-handed shoulder" and "left-handed shoulder". For the reversal to sound correct, "sa" is used instead of "na". "Balikat sa kanan" = shoulder at the right side; "balikat sa kaliwa" = shoulder at the left side.
