Dongosolo la "Focus" m'Chitagalogi (Austronesian Alignment)
Chimodzi mwazinthu zovuta kwambiri m'galamala ya Chitagalogi ndi dongosolo la "Focus". Izi zikutanthauza kuti wotanthauzira ayenera kusankha kuti ndi mbali iti ya chiganizo yomwe ikuyenera kutsindikiridwa (kaya ndi mchitidwe, chimene chikuchitidwacho, malo, kapena chipangizo).
