EN: how are you; hello
The ultimate Filipino conversation starter. It’s our "hello," "what's up," and "how are you" all rolled into one. Can be a genuine question about your well-being or just a polite way to acknowledge someone's existence before you ask them for a favor. The expected answer is usually "Okay lang," even if your life is a mess.
From Spanish "¿Cómo está?" (How are you?).
The most common greeting in the Philippines. Can be spelled as 'kamusta' in informal contexts.
🇵🇭 Kumusta ka na? Matagal na tayong hindi nagkikita.
🇺🇸 How are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time.
🇵🇭 Hi, kumusta! Pwede magtanong?
🇺🇸 Hi, hello! Can I ask something?
