🎌"Po" and "Opo": The Respect Words

Filipino has a built-in grammar of respect. "Po" and "Opo" are added when speaking to elders, strangers, or anyone deserving respect. Kumusta ka? is casual. Kumusta ka po? is respectful.

For Culture

Tagalog is where the best Filipino songs, movies, memes, and one-liners actually live. Once you understand it, you laugh at a joke the second it lands.
