Tagalog Phrases When Meeting Someone New

Here is a three-page printable of some basic phrases to use when meeting someone new. They can be kept as reference charts or cut up to be used as vocabulary cards. I included phrases using both formal and informal tone.

In Tagalog, there are two tones for conversation: formal and informal. With formal conversation, “po” is added as a form of respect when speaking to someone elder or someone respectable. Informal conversation is used when speaking to peers or those who are younger.

The third page of numbers 1 – 10 in Tagalog was added in case you want to identify the number of children or siblings you have.

We hope these help you for the next time you meet someone new and want to practice using Tagalog with them!
