How do you say hello in philipino language?

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

Formal:

* Magandang araw po. (Good day) - Used for someone older or someone you don't know well.

* Magandang hapon po. (Good afternoon) - Used for someone older or someone you don't know well.

* Magandang gabi po. (Good evening) - Used for someone older or someone you don't know well.

Informal:

* Hello. (This is the English word and is commonly used)

* Kumusta ka? (How are you?)

* Musta? (Shortened version of "Kumusta ka?")

* Uy! (Hey!)

* Pare! (Bro!) - Used among male friends.

Note: The "po" at the end of the formal greetings is a sign of respect, similar to "sir" or "ma'am" in English.

It's also important to consider the time of day when choosing a greeting.
