agree  EnTG-Translator: AGREE. The word "basically" which, in the English context acts as an adverb, has no exact and appropriate Tagalog equivalent. To ask this question, a Filipino would "normally" ask another with the question above. Or: "NASISIYAHAN KA BA SA BUHAY MO?"

nasisiyahan ka ba talaga sa iyong buhay?


Explanation:
I think this rendering is better. BASICALLY according to my dictionary is TALAGA (an adverb)

or IKAW BA AY TALAGANG NASISIYAHAN SA IYONG BUHAY?
