How do you say hello in fillipino?

The most common and versatile way to say "hello" in Filipino is "Magandang araw po" (pronounced mah-gan-dang ah-raw po).

Here's a breakdown:

* Magandang: Good

* Araw: Day

* Po: A polite marker, used when addressing someone older or as a sign of respect

Other ways to say hello:

* "Kumusta ka?" (pronounced koo-moos-ta ka) - "How are you?"

* "Hello" - This is also widely understood.

* "Magandang hapon" (pronounced mah-gan-dang ha-pon) - "Good afternoon."

* "Magandang gabi" (pronounced mah-gan-dang ga-bi) - "Good evening."

It's important to note that Filipino greetings often include a "po" or "opo" (yes) at the end to show respect.
