How do you say hello how are in Filipino?

The most common way to say "hello, how are you?" in Filipino is:

"Kumusta ka?"

This is a casual greeting and can be used with friends, family, and people you know well.

Here's a breakdown:

* Kumusta - This means "how are you"

* Ka - This is the polite marker, indicating you're addressing someone directly.

Other ways to say hello and how are you:

* "Magandang araw po" - This is a more formal greeting, meaning "Good day." You can add "Kumusta po?" after this to ask "how are you?"

* "Magandang umaga po" - This means "Good morning."

* "Magandang hapon po" - This means "Good afternoon."

* "Magandang gabi po" - This means "Good evening."

Important Note: "Po" is a politeness marker used when speaking to someone older or of higher social standing. You can use it with "Kumusta," but it is not always necessary depending on the context.
