Tagalog/Appendix E

Tagalog/Filipino common phrases Note: The more polite or formal forms of some phrases — those which make use of the word pô — should generally be used when speaking to persons of authority and seniority, or to show reverence to the person to whom spoken. With friends and in casual situations, pô need not be used. Also, in modern written Filipino/Tagalog, diacritical marks are not essential, and are omitted.
