Tagalog language has several particles which play essential part in building phrases. Particles (also referred to as linkers) are words that have no meaning by itself, and one such particle is 'at'.

For instance, you might have tried enumerating the objects you see in front of you. When listing those objects, the particle 'at' is a useful tool to indicate that the next word is the final part of the list.
