How do you say good afternoon in Filipino language?

There are a few ways to say "good afternoon" in Filipino, depending on the formality and context:

Formal:

* Magandang hapon po. (Mah-gan-dang ha-pon po.) - This is the most formal way to say good afternoon. It literally translates to "beautiful afternoon." The "po" at the end adds a respectful tone.

Informal:

* Magandang hapon. (Mah-gan-dang ha-pon.) - This is the informal version without the "po." It's suitable for friends and family.

* Hapon na. (Ha-pon na.) - This is a very casual way to say "It's afternoon now."

Other variations:

* Mabuti ang hapon. (Ma-boo-tee ang ha-pon.) - This translates to "Good afternoon." It's less common than the other options.

It's best to use the formal "Magandang hapon po" when speaking to elders or people you don't know well. In informal settings, you can use the other options.
