Tagalog Lesson 2: How to Use "Po"

You can download the presentation slides for this lesson from my Stan Store: stan.store/Tag...
In this Tagalog lesson, we will learn how to use the word "Po" throughout a conversation. "Po" is a part of speech that is used to show respect and is commonly used when speaking to elders. I will teach you the history of using the word, why it's used, and how to use it when speaking Tagalog. Good luck!

I was born in the philipines , and when I was 9 I moved to germany. No im 27 and completly forgotten how to speak Tagalog. I want to learn it now again. I hope I can learn through your videos :)

[@___mister.dior__________]

same I'm. in Australia,

[@GregorioVazquezJr]

Good luck, I can speak basic Tagalog. I’m an American Latino. It took me about 7 months.

[@Jilcobames]

I was 15 when I left the Philippines for the US my younger brother was 9. That was almost 40 years ago. We still speak Tagalog fluently. The only words I have trouble with are the deep Tagalog words that we hardly ever used when I was living there anyway. Wondering how others would forget. Do you not have anyone to speak Tagalog with? I am married to an American and don’t speak Tagalog at home but I still know how.

[@MG77740]

She’s so good at this. A person can be married to Filipino in the US for so long and not know that much about Tagalog. The Filipinos are communicating our way over here so we can go a long time before picking up a lot. This is very helpful and really thorough, organized and well done.

[@NJ94MAR]

I would love to see a podcast where you talk to another native tagalog speaker with transcript if possible. Maybe let the transcription be something that users pay for. ♥Anyways love all the content that helps me get closer to my roots! Thank you!

[@Mike-g9o2r]

salamat ate Pat, I am filipino but I grew up in Australia and don't speak Tagalog. I like your videos very easy to follow and understand... thank you keep up the good videos.... paalam !

[@sashabeckett5989]

Salamat po!! So happy Ate Pat! I have never know how to speak filipino even growing up with my mum using it to speak to me sometimes. I discovered your channel, and first video, and it helped me so so much in learning some basic vocab. I am 15 but your teaching style which is focused primarily for kids is an easy way for me to take in information at a better level than i could on other videos. Maraming masaya po ako!! I will continue watching your videos before i go to Phillipines again in 2 months after 12 years!! super excited

[@WoksAndPansCafe]

Really hope to see a lesson 3 and beyond! I am a foreigner living in the Philippines, and have been struggling to find content that can help me to learn conversational Tagalog. Thanks for your efforts thus far :)

[@mikalex201]

i just discovered your channel and all I can say is thank you! Your way of teaching is ver clear and perfect for beginners like me who have had 0 contact with asian languages before! I can't wait for the next lesson, I already feel like I know a lot. Maraming salamat po, ate!

[@melaniecruz4129]

Salamat po, Ate Pat! I always get confused where to put "po" in a sentence and how other words change when it is used. This was really helpful! Please keep making videos! I prefer these videos over reading textbooks.

[@Jonathan_Hagopian]

I really enjoy your videos

[@GMANN83]

You have a great channel , This helps me a lot since I have been going back and forth to the philippines 🇵🇭 When i'm in a hotel or places to eat or stores I usually hear "Salamat po" Very respectful 😊😊

[@kalien8542]

Maraming salamat po teacher. I love this lesson.

[@daniellerohlfs657]

Hi Ate Pat! I hope you continue the adult series, it's so helpful and you're so clear! I'm fil-am, but never really learned tagalog properly - so i make tons of mistakes, but I'm trying! Salamat!

This is fantastic, I hope you'll consider making other videos like this, you are very useful.

[@penguins0392]

thank you for not making your videos specifically for KZbinKids because I am now able to listen to your videos in a small window mobile

[@HDCalcs]

Thanks for these videos! I've been putting them on in the background when doing paper work and have found them to be super helpful, particularly for a beginner like myself. The "common phrases" type videos are especially helpful to train my ear and build up a vocabulary. Looking forward to more in the future! Salamat!

[@kuukiwoyome5640]

You have such a nice voice! And a great teacher!

[@jeffhowser3054]

This is really very helpful, Thank you. I live in Cavite, but I am absent a lot for work so I don’t hear spoken Tagalog much.

[@carydum9356]

I stumbled upon a question on facebook as to where we properly put "po" in a sentence and I found this video. 😅 It is actually pretty difficult to define it into hard rules. The tips here are pretty good especially the "when-in-doubt-put-it-at-the-end." But of course, keep using that rule and the speaker tends to sound "cute". Like how a kid would use it... I tried to summarize it in my head but it still doesn't encompass all or maybe I'm wrong in some of these: a. "Po" is always after the Subject in a subject-predicate sentence order AND always after the main Verb/Adjective/Adverb in a predicate-subject sentence order b. It is always put after "hindi" if the sentence is negative. Hindi po malungkot si Ms. Pat. -VERSUS- Masaya po si Ms. Pat. / Hindi po siya papasok. -VERSUS- Papasok po siya. c. If the subject/main-predicate has the following enclitics, "Po" is always put after them: "ko", "mo", "na", "pa", "daw/raw", "din/rin", "lang/lamang" Ang pangalan ko po ay Jose. / Ang buhok mo po ay mahaba. / Ang guro na po ngayon ay si Bb. Pat. / Ang panauhin pa po ang nagsasalita. / Pipila daw po ang matanda. / May damdamin din po ang mga hayop. / Mikropono lang po ang bubuksan. d. Can either be put before (strict) or after (informal/cute) these enclitic words: "niyo/ninyo", "namin", "natin", "niya", "nila", "kita", "muna", "pala", "sana" Ang pangalan po niya / Ang pangalan niya po / Bibilhin po namin / Bibilhin namin po / Naupo po muna siya / Naupo muna po siya. e. Strictly before but may also be informally used after "ba" Matagal po ba? / Matagal ba po?

Tagalog Time Lesson 2 like my frend

[@motoshoot404]

Just started learning and I like Pat's style....but do have accuracy questions at just EP#2 😂 How does "Ilang taon ka na" become " Ilang taon na po kayo"? Yup understand that ko > kayo but no explanation as to how ka > kayo and why it moves to the end.....😂

[@amazinglife903]

❤

[@soybi592]

As a native Tagalog speaker, I never realized how hard learning Tagalog is.

[@hobbsxhunter]

I need more episodes!!! I was actually learning a lot!!!

[@neovxr]

BTW anecdotally, Miku says always "po" ! She sings and plays guitar with "Band-Maid" which is an incredibly hard rocking maid band. fun fact lang. So there is a Japanese person that makes "po" worldwide famous.😄

[@lrumctech]

I love your videos so far. I have a question though. I'm in the Bataan Peninsula area and I was told that "Maligayang bati" means happy greetings, not happy birthday. Is this a regional difference?

[@arlymranario1563]

po/opo, ho/oho are the words for being polite and respectful. po is a shortened version of opo. and ho is the short version of oho. po/ho can be used interchangeably but po is more formal and commonly used - kumain ka na ba? Tapos na po or Tapos na ho. - opo and oho can be used to answer politely any questions that needed a yes answer. - kumain ka na ba? Opo or Oho - these are affirmative replies that in itself can be used showing respect The more formal replies will be - Opo, tapos na po Oho, tapos na ho. Formal negative reply will be Hindi po po Hindi pa ho

[@mfa525]

I use Ho or Oho when I'm speaking with an older person na hindi ko kilala.

[@99jei63]

*Po* is _not_ the shortened version of *Opo* because they differ in meaning. They are different. *Opo* is I think the shortened version of *Oo po* .

[@TheWzeOwl]

Thats why I did not retire in Thailand 😊

[@Studyja]

Thank you for reply in Filipinos please😊😊

[@georgetarbutton8752]

I was told Po at the end of the phrase was respectful? Salamate Po

[@jatziripelayo4762]

QUESTION! whats the difference between Ako si and then just Ako?

[@servosrive]

ako si = i am ako si John = i am John ako = i, or me Q: Who is the father? = Sino ang tatay? A: Me = Ako : I am the father. = Ako ang tatay.

How to use "po": Don't over use it.

[@dray379]

I'm slightly confused. In the practice, Ko never got changed to kayo but you said ko and po will not be together. Anyone got any tips for understanding this haha

[@Mottleydude1]

Maybe you can explain a mystery for me? How can someone be to handsome to learn Tagalog? You see, I’m an American and when I married my beautiful Filipina bride I made her promise to teach me Tagalog. Which she did try but unfortunately there were certain Tagalog words I just couldn’t pronounce correctly. She tried over and over again to teach me how to pronounce those words but I just couldn’t seem to say them correctly to her satisfaction. So she gave up in frustration and walked out of the room pulling her hair and ranting in Tagalog. I wisely decided to just let her be. But a few days later I asked her to try and give me another Tagalog lesson. She smiled and said “No, I can’t”. I asked why? She then smiled very sweetly at me and said “You’re to gago to learn Tagalog.”. I asked her what gago meant and she smiled and said “Handsome”. Which is a mystery to me that I hope you can explain. How can a guy be to handsome to learn Tagalog?

Thank you Pat so much for these awesome vids. I love to learn with you. Thank you again. Peace

[@alanbarnes3569]

I would really love to learn your language but every word looks like an anagram. For English people it’s very difficult to even pronounce the words in your language. Nothing in your language looks familiar that’s the problem. When I lived in France I learnt French very easily and quickly. So I do have an ear for languages, but your language just sounds so impossible to learn, sorry too difficult!!

[@lexlib1108]

Very helpful, salamat
