EN: Uncle (colloquial)
A more classic, sometimes provincial, way of saying 'Tiyo' or 'Tito'. If someone calls their uncle 'Tiyong', they might be from a specific region or just have a more traditional family vibe. It's the OG 'Tito'.
Varyant ng "tiyo", mula sa Espanyol na "tío".
Less common in urban Manila but still widely used in other regions. It carries a slightly more dated or rural connotation compared to 'tiyo' or the more modern 'tito'.
🇵🇭 Si Tiyong Berto ang paborito kong kamag-anak.
🇺🇸 Uncle Berto is my favorite relative.
