EN: how; so
This is the OG way to be dramatic and extra. Before 'sobrang' or 'super' became a thing, there was 'kay'. "Kay ganda ng umaga!" (What a beautiful morning!). It's the word you use when you're feeling poetic or want to sound like a character from a classic Filipino movie. It adds a touch of class and exaggeration to your compliments or complaints. "Kay bagal ng internet!"
Placed before an adjective to intensify its meaning, often in exclamatory sentences. It is more formal or literary.
🇵🇭 Kay ganda ng tanawin mula sa tuktok ng bundok!
🇺🇸 How beautiful the view is from the mountaintop!
🇵🇭 Naku, kay hirap pala ng pagsusulit na ito!
🇺🇸 Oh, this exam is so difficult!
