EN: son (term of address)
The default name your tita or lola calls you if you're a guy and they've forgotten your actual name. The female equivalent is 'iha'. It's a term of endearment that can also feel like a gentle lecture is coming. "Ay, **iho**, kumain ka na ba? Parang pumapayat ka."
From Spanish 'hijo' meaning 'son'.
A respectful and affectionate term used by an older person to a younger male. Not typically used among peers.
🇵🇭 "Mag-ingat ka sa pag-uwi, iho," sabi ng matandang babae.
🇺🇸 "Be careful on your way home, son," said the old woman.
🇵🇭 Halika rito, iho, tulungan mo ako sa pagbubuhat.
🇺🇸 Come here, son, help me with lifting this.
