po)

       Please come in!

      Tuloy po kayo!

      (Tu-loy po ka-yó)

      To be more polite, use the honorifics “po” and “ho” and the second person plural “kayo” instead of “ka.” For example, when addressing an older person, say:

       How are you?

      Kumusta po kayo?

      (Ku-mus-ta po ka-yó)

       I’m fine. Thank you.

      Mabuti po. Salamat.

      (Ma-bu-ti po. Sa-la-mat)

       Good morning!

      Magandang umaga po!

      (Ma-gan-dáng u-ma-ga po)

      When meeting each other on the street, Filipinos also like to ask each other where they have been or where they are going. This is not to be interpreted as nosiness, but just as a common way of greeting.

       Where did you come from?

      Saan ka galing?

      (Sa-án ka gá-ling)

      Saan po kayo galing? (formal)

      (Sa-án po ka-yó ga-ling)

       I came from my house.

      Galing ako sa bahay ko.

      (Ga-ling a-kó sa ba-hay ko)

      Galing po ako sa bahay ko. (formal)

      (Ga-ling po a-kó sa ba-hay ko)

       I came from ___ (insert place).

      Galing ako sa ___.

      (Ga-ling a-kó sa ___ )

       Where are you going?

      Saan ka pupunta?

      (Sa-án ka pu-pun-ta)

      Saan po kayo pupunta? (formal)

      (Sa-án po ka-yó pu-pun-ta)

       I am going to ___.

      Pupunta ako sa ___.

      (Pú-pun-ta a-kó sa___ )

      In these next common greetings/sentences, the formal form is used because most of the situations are interactions with strangers. Also, it is better to err on the side of “politeness.” In some cases, both the formal and informal phrases are given. When you are speaking to someone familiar to you and/or of the same age simply omit the word “po.”

       Do you speak English?

      Marunong po ba kayong mag-Ingles? (formal)

      (Ma-ru-nong po ba ka-yóng mag-Ing-gles)

       I understand.

      Naiintindihan ko po.

      (Na-í-in-tín-di-hán ko po)

       I don’t understand.

      Hindi ko po naiintindihan.

      (Hin-dî ko po na-í-in-tín-di-hán)

       Can you speak slowly please?

      Pakibagalan po ninyo ang pagsasalita. (formal)

      (Pa-kí-ba-gá-lan po nin-yo ang pág-sa-sá-li-tâ)

       Please write it down.

      Pakisulat po.

      (Pa-ki-su-lat po)

       What is this called in Tagalog/Filipino?

      Ano po ang tawag dito sa Tagalog/Filipino?

      (A-no po ang ta-wag di-to sa Ta-ga-log/Fi-li-pi-no)

      GOODBYE

      Paalam. (most formal)

      (Pa-a-lam)

      Sige. (literally, okay)

      (Si-ge)

       Let us see each other again.

      Magkita po tayo ulit.

      (Mag-ki-ta po ta-yo u-lit)

       Until then…

      Hanggang sa muli po…

      (Hang-gáng sa mu-li po)

       Until we meet again.

      Hanggang sa susunod na pagkikita.

      (Hang-gáng sa sú-su-nod na pag-ki-ki-ta)

      Also, people tend to ask each other to be careful when saying goodbye:

       Be careful.

      Mag-ingat po kayo.

      (Mag-i-ngat po ka-yó)

       Thank you.

      Salamat
