Hi how are you in Filipino?

There are a few ways to say "Hi how are you" in Filipino, depending on the level of formality and the person you are speaking to:

Formal:

* Magandang araw po. Kumusta po kayo? (Good day. How are you?)

* Magandang hapon po. Kumusta po kayo? (Good afternoon. How are you?)

* Magandang gabi po. Kumusta po kayo? (Good evening. How are you?)

Informal:

* Kumusta ka? (How are you?)

* Musta? (Short for "Kumusta ka?")

* Kamusta ka? (Another way to say "Kumusta ka?")

More casual:

* Uy, kamusta? (Hey, how are you?)

It's also common to add a "po" at the end of sentences when speaking to someone older or in a position of authority, as a sign of respect.

Here are some ways to respond:

* Mabuti naman po. (I'm good.)

* Okay lang po. (I'm okay.)

* Ayos lang po. (I'm alright.)

* Mabuti naman po kayo? (How are you?)

The best way to choose the right greeting depends on the context and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
