Does ka mean you (tú)?
Do you join the words or use declensions? For instance 'ka and ikaw. I think there is a "you". Ko looks like I (yo). Iis biro we (nosotros)?
And I'd like to know how you pronounce "ng".

@Irmamar:
You are correct
Ka/ikaw=tú=you; ko/ako=yo=I
Ng=by itself is pronounced as "nang". It is pronounced like "bang" in English with initial "n" sound instead of "b". When it is added as ending to words it is prounounced like any English word ending in ng like: song, king, ring, tong, etc.
There are so many uses of ng.
Biro=chiste=joke/tease
Tayo=nosotros=we/us
Thanks for your interest in the Tagalog language and making me remember my unused Tagalog vocabulary
