What is stepfather in tagalog?

The most common translation for "stepfather" in Tagalog is "ama ng asawa". This literally translates to "father of the spouse".

Here are some other options, depending on the context:

* "ama sa tuhod" - This literally means "father by the knee", and is used for a stepfather who is not biologically related but who acts as a father figure.

* "ama-amahan" - This is a more formal and less common term that emphasizes the paternal role.

* "ama sa batas" - This literally translates to "father by law", and is used to refer to a stepfather in a legal context.

The best translation will depend on the specific context and how you want to emphasize the relationship.
