In English, it functions as a verb "be" that links the subject to the predicate. It denotes the current state of the subject as of the present or has been existing, a fact or a truth. I suspect it's of Portuguese origin, probably from Ternate Chabacano that made its way to Chavacano de Zamboanga. --Weekeejames 13:13 27 Julio 2008 (UTC)

I see. I suspect that na and sabon are also Portuguese in origin.--Jondel 07:00 29 Julio 2008 (UTC)
