Usage Note
Memoryahin is the object-focus infinitive of memorya, a Spanish loanword (memoria), used when the material being memorized is the grammatical focus. It is strongly associated with Philippine school culture, which historically emphasized rote memorization of poems, prayers, multiplication tables, and speeches. The noun memorya also serves as the everyday word for memory as a cognitive faculty; the actor-focus counterpart is mag-memorya.
