What is teriffic in tagalog?

"Terrific" in Tagalog can be translated in several ways depending on the context and the level of formality you want to convey. Here are some options:

Formal:

* Napakaganda (literally means "very beautiful")

* Napakasaya (literally means "very happy")

* Napakahusay (literally means "very good")

* Kamangha-mangha (literally means "amazing")

Informal:

* Ang galing! (literally means "how good!")

* Astig! (this is a slang term for "cool")

* Ang ganda! (literally means "how beautiful!")

* Ang saya! (literally means "how happy!")

* Ang husay! (literally means "how good!")

The best translation depends on the specific situation. If you're describing something that is impressive, "kamangha-mangha" or "napakahusay" would be good choices. If you're describing something that is fun or exciting, "ang saya!" or "astig!" would be more appropriate.
