🇵🇭 Tagalog — Day 76 Module
Following Day 75's clarification tools, Day 76 equips you with the skill of active verification: confirming that you understood details correctly before moving on. Rather than guessing or smiling politely, you will learn to bounce information back ('Bukas ng alas-dos, tama ba?'), clarify intended meaning ('Ibig mong sabihin...?'), and confirm mutual agreement ('Opo, tama!').
- Verify factual information using the universal tag question 'Tama ba?'
- Confirm or correct details with 'Tama' (correct) and 'Mali' (wrong)
- Check intended meaning using the crucial chunk 'Ibig mong sabihin...?' (You mean...?)
- Echo back key details (time, date, venue) to prevent misunderstandings
- Confirm complete mutual comprehension with 'Naiintindihan ko na'
- Score 9+/10 on the Day 76 Verification Test

Toggle rapidly between 'Tama ba?' and 'Opo, tama. Naiintindihan ko'!
