How do you say i dont know in Filipino?

There are a few ways to say "I don't know" in Filipino, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* Hindi ko alam. (This is the most common and literal translation.)

Informal:

* Ewan. (This is a more casual and everyday way to say it.)

* Di ko alam. (A shortened version of "Hindi ko alam.")

* Wala akong alam. (Literally means "I have no knowledge," but conveys the same meaning.)

Adding Emphasis:

* Talaga pong hindi ko alam. (This adds emphasis to the "I don't know," making it sound more sincere.)

* Ay, ewan ko. (This expresses surprise or confusion, like "Goodness, I don't know!")

Using the Tagalog word for "know":

* Hindi ko ma-gets. (This means "I don't understand," but can also be used to convey "I don't know.")

Choose the best option based on the situation.
