sow the word

The Greek that is translated as “sow the word” or similar in English is translated in Taglish (Pinoy) as nagshe-share ng salita ng Diyos or “share the word of God.” Taglish is a mixed language between Tagalog and English that uses some English words but Tagalog syntax. Nagshe-share is based on the English word “share” which is duplicated (-she and share) to express the continuing action and is preceded by the Tagalog past tense affix nag-.
