What does kau mean in tagalog?

"Kau" in Tagalog is a pronoun that means "you". However, it is only used in formal settings or when addressing someone with respect.

Here's why:

* Formal: You would use "kau" when talking to elders, authority figures, or someone you don't know well.

* Respect: It is a more polite and respectful way of saying "you" compared to the informal "ikaw".

In most everyday situations, you would use "ikaw" instead of "kau".
