| Hi, everybody! |
| Do you know how to say “Bye” in Filipino? In this lesson, you'll learn three parting expressions in Filipino. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| Paalam. |
| [slowly] Paalam. |
| This means "Goodbye" in Filipino. |
| You can use this on any occasion with anyone. |
| If you want to be more formal, there is a different phrase you should use. |
| Sige po mauna na ako |
| [slowly] Sige po mauna na ako |
| This means "I'll go ahead" in Filipino. |
| The first two words, sige and po, are both polite words. The word mauna means "go ahead," na means something similar to "already," and ako means "me." |
| If you want to sound more casual, here's a phrase for you. |
| Sige mauna na ako |
| [slowly] Sige mauna na ako. |
