How do you say hi in tagalog?

There are several ways to say "hi" in Tagalog, depending on the context and the level of formality:

Informal:

* "Hello" - This is the most common and neutral greeting.

* "Kumusta?" - This means "How are you?" and is a friendly way to greet someone.

* "Uy!" - This is a very casual greeting used among friends or family.

* "Pare/Ate/Kuya" - These are terms of endearment used for friends or acquaintances.

Formal:

* "Magandang araw po" - This means "Good day" and is a formal greeting.

* "Magandang hapon po" - This means "Good afternoon" and is also formal.

* "Magandang gabi po" - This means "Good evening" and is the most formal greeting.

Other:

* "Mano po" - This is a gesture of respect, especially to elders. You would touch their hand to your forehead.

* "Magandang umaga po" - This means "Good morning" and is a more formal greeting.

It's important to note that Tagalog uses a system of honorifics, meaning that the way you greet someone depends on their age, social status, and relationship with you.

When in doubt, it's always safe to use a neutral greeting like "Hello" or "Kumusta?"
