Answer 2

You can use the above answers if you are only trying to visit Manila. Using Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines. Don't be surprise if you go North 80 kms of Manila and find people using different dialect because there are many languages being used in the Philippines. But in general prefer using Tagalog.

here's some more

Good morning - Ma-gan-dang  u-ma-ga po   / Magandang Umaga po

Good afternoon - Magandang Tanghali po

Good evening - Magandang Gabi po

You are beautiful - Maganda Ka

You are from where? - Taga saan ka?

My name is WhizKid. - Ako po ay si Whizkid

Answer 3

1. hello how are you - (there is no exact translation for hello)

"hello,kumusta ka" if it refers to one person only or "kumusta po kayo" if they are many.

2.thank you - salamat, salamat po.

"po" is used for people who are older or in higher position than you. a sign of respect.

3. bye - paalam, paalam po

you could also add these phrases:

1. if they ask you how are you, then you could answer with "mabuti po", meaning good or i'm fine.

2. yes - oo (pronounce it as o-o)

3. no - hindi

Answer 4

1.) Hello, kumusta?

2.) Salamat

3.) Paalam

others...

5.) Good day/morning/afternoon/evening = Magandang araw/umaga/hapon/gabi

6.) Please = p**i

7.) Yes/No = Oo/Hindi

8.) Where/Who/When/What/How/Why = Saan/Sino/Kailan/Ano/Paano/Bakit

9.) Later/Tomorrow/Earlier/Next = Mamaya/Bukas/Kanina/Susunod

10.) Right/Left/Straight/Backward/Forward = Kanan/Kaliwa/Direcho/Abante/Atras

you don't really need to know all of these, I mean, most/many people in the Philippines, especially in the big cities such as Manila, speak English...
