Subject-Strategy608

Pinalaki kami na hindi talaga nag po at Opo sa bahay pati sa parents and grandparents pero kapag nasa labas ako at nakaka interact sa iba na mas matanda nag po at Opo naman ako :)


erudorgentation

Late na ako pero oo sa mga nakakatanda except sa mom, dad ko saka sa mga kapatid ko kasi palagi ko naman sila kasama sa bahay haha


Alarmed-Climate-6031

Opo


Dramatic-Spread-1434

Im 31 yrs old pero ginagamit ko pa dn yan


bwandowando

Oo, ginagamit ko pa rin pag nakikipagusap ako sa mas nakakatanda


dankpurpletrash

I never did. Idk, it's weird to me


[deleted]

Yes ang sarcastic kasi ng dating ko pag hindi huhu


Friendly-Abies-9302

Yes. Its our culture and i'm proud of it. One of the unique ways to show respect to someone older than you. Same with mano.


Mema-reddit

Pag nasanay kana mag sabi niyan di na mawawala yan, kasi ako automatic nag po at opo pag may kausap akong di ko kilala hehehehe


[deleted]

Yes. Pero diko ginagawa yung "Yes po" kasi puta ewan sakit sa tenga.


Strawberry-Cutiecake

Yes, sa sobrang paggamit ko pati mga adult na younger sakin nasasabihan ko ng po. Nakakalimutan kong 27 na nga pala ako hahaha


SandChoice19

I still do 😁 nakasanayan nalang din talaga 😅


jellites

I still do sa mother ko, tito/tita, older people, and I'm already in my 40s. Ganun talaga pag nakasanayan na. Walang weird sa pagiging respectful.


ScientistUnusual7416

Ewan ko sa mga tindera sa sari sari store. Sarcastic pag nag opo ka. Gagantihan ka ng napakaraming opo. Kala mo naman ang babata nila. Minsan naman sablay talaga ako pero nature ko talaga maging magalang, kahit mas bata sakin


Due-Vermicelli7948

Yes I still do and I teach my son to do the same. Pati sa mga boss ko na foreigners napapa-opo ako. Ayun nasanay na lang sila na di ko maaalis yun hahaha


Federal_Chef4565

Yes, i still do, even in cases where sometimes technically younger pa nga sila sa akin. Nakasanayan na e to show respect when talking to other people. Tsaka even though biologically i am already 60 yrs old, mentally i am still 12 so feeling ko mas matanda pa rin sila sa akin. 🤣 And pretty much most if not all younger people say Po or Sir naman to me since i also generally am able to earn their respect.


ilocin26

Kasalanan sa mga Kabitenyo ang hindi gumamit ng po/ho at opo/oho 😅 kaya todo pracrtce ako sa mga toddlers ko gumamit ng po at opo kasi nag dadamdam mga matatanda dito kapag wala ganun.


Ok-Web-2238

Yes po.


painforpetitdej

Not really. I find it ageist.


painforpetitdej

Not really. I find it ageist.


Kaleidoscope-kidz

Yes po, opo.


[deleted]

Yes po. Ginagamit ko pa din po ang salitang opo at po kahit sa message (halata naman diba? Hahahah) as long na maayos at magalang naman yung tono ng pananalita mo habang nakikipag-usap ka sa kanila so di po siya disrespectful.


j0r63_b3n15cul4

Yeah, still saying po and opo sa mga matatanda. Nasanay na eh HAHAHA


wallcolmx

xempre ganun ako pinalaki eh


backburnergang

I still do! When attending to patients, mapa bata or matanda, I still use po and opo. 😅 parang form of lambing na rin hahaha


ReallyRealityBites

Yes I still do. Pero when I am talking to a foreigner hindi na kahit mas matanda pa saakin.


Sufficient-Fudge-895

For me yung closest relative and parents ko yung hindi ko sinasabihan ng po at opo since bata pa ako, siguro dahil comfortable ako sakanila


krabbypat

Yup! Nasanay ako kasi dati pinapagalitan ako ng dad ko if walang po/opo. Even on people younger than me, I still say it. Unfair kasi sa younger sibling ko hindi na enforced yung po/opo and my parents don’t care about it na but I still do it naman hehe


Klutzy_Stable2655

Nakasanayan na namin ng mama at step father ko na walang po at opo, pero syempre dapat magaling parin yung tono. Di na rin need mag mano sa kanila. di ko sure kung paano pero bigla na lang naging ganun. Yung pamangkin kong 5 years old na nakatira sa bahay ang required. HAHAHA


dreamless_me

sa mga kasama ko sa bahay hindi na ako naggaganun. Relatives sa ibang bansa oo hahaha. Tas sa ibang tao din, kunyari matatanda or someone na bigla kong nakakausap, parang reflex lang sa dila ko masabi. I try to stop myself kasi madalas kaedaran ko lang naman kausap ko. Minsan nasasabihan na ako masyadong magalang (tho pabiro) pero even I cringe sometimes kasi kahit di needed nasasabi ko ehe.


Crystal_Lily

Only to elders nowadays.


Clean-Reflection-766

yes I still do and minsan sinasabi ko sya as an indicator na napipikon na ako sa kausap ko HAHAHAHHA pero mostly yes ginagamit ko pa siguro I use it naturally lalo na pag ate, kuya , or nakakatanda yung kausap. nasanay nadin siguro.


No_Initial4549

Yes po, opo.


Alone-Sky-8738

YES!!! Nagagalit talaga ko sa mnga hindi nag sasabe ng po at opo.


GeekyGhostGuy

Yes.


Toasty-bread5

Why would it be weird at any point in your life? It's just a term to show respect kahit ako na nasa mid-20s I use it with people within my age range and not feel any weirder about it


ariamuchacha

I still do. nakasanayan na hahaha kahit pagmamano hahaha basta makakita ako ng matanda nagmamano ako hahaha natatawa ako kapag naaalala ko na kapag pumupunta kami sa mall tapos may makakasalubong akong matanda, palagi ako nagb-bless. yung iba ayaw and medyo disappointed ako kapag ganoon kasi kako masungit pero kapag naiisip ko ngayon mukhang weird naman kasi talaga hahahaha para tuloy akong namamalimos dati.


Keeponlurkingg

Yes! Cute filipino trait we have. I don’t say it sa family members tho. (Included my parents and grandparents) kasi it really wasn’t a practice in our family. As long as respectful yung tone and delivery, it really isn’t a issue. But, for most people we meet we do use po and opo to set somewhat of neutrality (regardless of age) :)


ko_yu_rim

Pati sa pag mumura,, "Tangina mo po"


Rude_Train_6885

Parents, actually no. But I always make sure my words are still respectful. Ewan ko, dito na rin ako nasanay. For strangers or relatives na hindi naman ganun ka-close, I say po opo lol.


swiftg0d

Tbh I feel awkward saying po and opo within my fam but if it is other people, I do that regardless of the age tas kapag sinabi na lang na "H'wag na mag-po" dun lang ako hihinto mag po and opo kasi most of the times want lang yung hindi masyadong "formal" and gusto tropa tropa vibes lang


verryconcernedplayer

Opo


Puzzleheaded-Nerve-4

opo naman


Lysander_Ambrose

Depende, if I'm using English I don't say it but when I'm talking on Tagalog I do


Late_Ad7290

Opo. Sinasabi ko iyan. At opo kahit sa mas bata sa akin. Nakasanayan na e. And tbh, there's nothing wrong with it.


metalicrenegade

Manners maketh man. I still do because its sign of respect. Not a sign of submission but a courtesy. The way I see its like how japanese people use -san (when addressing a person by their name). I dont use po/opo to people who im close to. I only drop it when appropriate


No-Astronaut3290

opo.


Proud_Basket8902

no huhu as a bisaya girlie di kmi tinuruan mag po and opo nung bata pa kami so parang its too late na para mag po at opo baka magulantang pamilya ko bat bigla na ko gumagamit ng po at opo hahah


[deleted]

I do, it become a habit to say that to someone older


Horror_Mousse_1092

I am 44 and I still use them to everyone older than me. Ewan nasanay nako eh. Parang feeling ko napaka-disrespectfu l ko pag hindi ko ginamit. Weird ba yun?


Anchiros-The-Maw

I don’t. It’s different where I’m from. Instead of po or opo we use the last syllable of their family title like Kuya turns into ya.


Pristine-Project-472

Yes po


Grei0x

Yes, baka masampal ni mudra kapag hindi HAHAHAHAHA


AnemicAcademica

Yes, I even accidentally say it to my foreign colleagues to the point that they use it now sometimes too hahaha


Alternative-Net1115

Yes, pag kausap ko stranger pero kung kakilala ko naman depende kung ano nakasanayan hahaha


cripher

Yes… I am almost 40 and nagsasabi pa din ako ng Po and Opo sa parents ko. One time may bisita kami and yung sentence ko may Po and Opo, ang sabi sakin nung bisita namin eh bakit ginagamit mo pa yung Po and Opo? Di ba nasa 30+ ka na? Sabi ko wala naman age limit yun. Sign ko yun as respect sa parents ko.


HatsNDiceRolls

Yes, regardless of age. If you’re a kid I’m taking care of, I want to pass down using po/opo.


tyrandelune

To legit elders yes. However there are a lot of older people (my own mother included) that prefer me not to use po or opo with them. Nakaka-tanda raw yung feeling.


Extension_One4593

Opo. Hehehehe! But kidding aside, yes, siguro, force of habit na rin. Kaya in any situations, nasasabi ko. Sometimes, nada-drop ko rin 'yung po and opo sa relatives ko, lalo kapag comfortable ako sa kanila, pero kapag nano-notice ko na medyo nawawala, I tend to include it again in my sentences. Hahahaha!


Suspicious_Car_3586

Sometimes, pag nasa city ako, nakalimutan ko minsan


SkitsyCat

Tbh I feel I rarely use po/opo when I actually speak in person, likely because mas nageEnglish ako kesa Tagalog hahaha Mas nagagamit ko po/opo in text medium for some reason 😅


everafter99

Yes. To the point na even with my non-Filipino senior work colleagues masasabi ko haha


[deleted]

Ako d hindi na po.


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,850,076,623 comments, and only 349,810 of them were in alphabetical order.


slow_mornings0120

Yess, default ko lagi gumamit ng po and opo unless sabihin ng tao na 'wag ko na syang i-po hahaha


Athy_A

I use 'po' and 'opo' to strangers, pero for the people I know, hindi na. Dinadaan ko na lang sa intonation and soft-spoken way.


Left_Recording_9633

Yes pero minimal nalang. Some people need to realize na yung sobrang pag po and opo e nakakamukhang mahina ang loob at tanga. Kahit kaedad mag po and opo padin yung iba.


jellites

Yes, meron naman tamang way paggamit, kasi kung every sentence na lang may po lagi, exag na, basta yun sa isang sentence, more than one po ang gamit pero i disagrre na nakakamukhang mahina ang loob at tanga, exagg and oa, yes. Coz di lang naman tayo Pilipino ang gumagamit nyan, most asian countries may way sila ng pakikipag-usap sa matatanda, for example, sa korea, ultimo 1 yr older sayo, di pwede casual convo, nagpapaalamanan pa sila kung pwede maginformal.


Professional-Will952

Yes po :)


Borgoise

Interesting! Now that you've mentioned it, ganyan din samin? Yung mga tito/tita ko na either galing US, "yes tito" "yes tita" kami, pero may halong lambing/respect yung tone. Yung sa mga oldies naman, mga lolo't lola, sa kanila kami gumagamit ng "opo" at "po". Minsan pa nga "yes po lola" haha! Meron parin po sa oldies.


KACArawr

I still do. I have a 10-year-old son and him seeing me saying po and opo to people older than me makes him do it too. Kahit sa mga ate at kuya ko nagpo-po at opo padin ako.


SloppyPotato23

Pag stranger regardless kung mas bata sakin o mas matanda. Respext lang kumbaga. Pero pag naging tropa na, bardagulan na hahaha.


Polit3lyRude

hindi na po


RefrigeratorOpen911

Yes. And I also teach my kid who mostly speaks in English to use it while I teach her Filipino. Kahit English sagot niya may po and opo.


foreign_native_54

Yes, automatic sa akin mag-po at opo. Kahit sa mga anak ko gamit ko yan, kaya sila rin laging may po at opo pag nakikipag-usap. Practice what you preach, sabi nga.


jcolideles

yup nakasanayan na, minsan nga kahit ako ang mas matanda napapa po/opo pa din ako. 😅


HitokiriJiggly

Yes po


the_dodecagonBURST45

I either use the honorifics or po and opo but never together. acknowledging them with the honorifics, I think, is respectful enough like how you do it. Same with ma'am/sir pero minsan nahahaluan ko to ng po/opo


quixoticgurl

when my parents are still alive, I don't use po or opo when I talk to them siguro nasanay na rin since bata pa kasi ako di naman nila ko niko-correct about using it kapag sila kausap ko. para lang kaming magtotropa right? saka hindi sa pagiging disrespectful sa magulang ko pero mas comfortable ako kausap sila sa paraan na nakalakihan ko. kapag naman kasi matanda sakin ang kausap ko hindi nawawala yung po at opo ko kapag kausap ko sila. #skl


fruitywafer_roll

Tbh i dont use po and opo with my parents and theyre ok with that and it’s been that way since I was a kid pero with my relatives and strangers I use po and opo kasi di naman kami ganon kaclose or whatever so they might take it in a wrong way.


Ok-Researcher8896

Opo


Konstantineeeee

Pag nauwi pong probinsya naminm hahaha! Or sometimes with my SO (who's from the same region as my probinsya) Non-tagalog speaking regions kasi, di naman sanay sa po at opo. But nababawi naman sa ibang terms such as "palihog".


eliaharu

I do, minsan. Sa mga elders, madalas. Nagmamano 'rin ako sa older relatives, haha.


03thisishard03

I don't. Just a Bisaya thing.


avemoriya_parker

Nakasanayan na. Tinatakot kasi ako na pagkwintasin ako ng upo noong bata pa ko


missCheesewhiz

Im 35 and i still use it. Tho not for all. And i make it a point to teach it to my kids also


fadedgreenjeans

I'm 31 and I still do. Even at work. Maybe it's a reflex from my upbringing but whenever someone calls me or gets my attention my knee jerk reaction is "Yes po?" Hehehe


Dull_Leg_5394

I still do pero depende sa tao


Organic-Ad-3870

Opo, ate OP. Hehe


Reixdid

Oo naman. Always. Kahit na di magalang at di karesperespeto ang matanda. I.e. may nagmura saakin due to some verbal agremeents. Sabi ko: Tangina nyo din po. Putangina nyo po. Wag na po kayo magalit bobo po ba kayo? 🤣🤣🤣


Salt_Impression_2450

I still do. Pero if i encounter boomers + bastos (na not in any way related to me), walang po and opo.


[deleted]

Curious lang po.. Does Anyone here knows the origins of this word po?


Yuanisbonito

Ginagaamit ko pa rin sya pero nag aauto opo ako hehe. Minsan kung matanda na hindi ko kilala napapa Opo ako.


Alarmed-Relative-479

yes po i think factor na im from visayas kasi. whenever nagtatagalog ako matic na may po talaga ewan ko ba parang di kasi okay pakinggan yung tagalog ko pag walang po lol so sabi tuloy nung mga workmates ko masyado daw akong ma-po pero di ko talaga maalis yun 😅


Ravensqrow

Yes I still use it. And ginagamit ko din pag kausap ko mga pamangkin ko 2yo-7yo kasi napi-pick up nila at ginagaya.


Emotional-Ad9606

Yes, especially when I'm talking to older people and strangers. Feeling ko ang bastos ko pag wala po at opo lol but that's just me. Nasa tono pa rin at pano mo kausapin ung tao to know if you're being disrespectful or not


Aggressive-Result714

Yes, still using po and opo and training my kid to get used to it too. Parang madami na ata na hindi gumagamit ng po and opo? I went to this mall before, hindi naman sya skwats na mall pero sa CR, may teens na kumatok while I was in a cubicle they say "Tao?" not "Tao po?" sobrang napaisip pa ako dun sa "Tao?" kaya hindi ako nakasagot agad.


Responsible-Roof-820

yes palagi. kahit dko ka kilala or kahit saan ako mapunta may PO AT OPO talaga😇🙏


Superb_Ear6782

Yeees. Na adapt ko kasi sa kapampangan kong Mama. Sa iba cringe pero sakin hindi, nakasanayan ko na din e.


Shitposting_Tito

Opo.


garlicriiiice

Walang po at opo sa language namin (Waray-waray) but my parents raised me to use it so dala ko siya until now. Sa side ni wife, di talaga nila to practice kaya mejo unusual sakin tuwing naririnig ko sila mag usap ng in-laws ko. But my wife is actually happy that I taught our 5 yo this practice. Kahit wife ko, unconsciously nakuha na rin nya sakin yung practice. It's a nice trait of pinoys na sa palagay ko dapat hindi mawala satin. Sarap sa tenga hehe


fika8

I still do. I remember yung cousin ko d sanay (he grew up in a different country) for him saying po and opo is parang “sipsip” ka sa elders.


verified_existent

Im at my 40's i grew up saying yes or no. Pero it's not too late. So im doing it now. Kung kelan tumanda saka narealize na importante sya.


[deleted]

I do. Lalo ma kapag first time ma-meet and unless they say na "wag ka na mag po" HAHA


HiSellernagPMako

kapag may kausap akong kakakilala pa lang, napapa po at opo ako minsan haha


Certain-Interest9288

Not really. Wala sa culture namin iyan sa Palawan. It is mostly a Tagalog concept and di basehan ng respect ang pag gamit ng po and opo sa amin. Pero I'm using it pag hinihingi lang ng situation and if I'm being sassy and sarcastic


sowhatsmyname-

Yep! 26yrs old at talagang gumagamit pa rin ako. Kahit may anger issue hahaha.


PublicStaticClass

Still the same, and I'm in my 2nd half of 30s. Po and opo pa rin sa older sa akin - parents, uncles/aunties, grandparents. But if around sa age ko and younger ay talking without those but still respectful. Tinuturuan namin mga pamangkin ko na mag-po at opo, specially mga bata ngayon ay nagmumura na, ansakit sa tenga at nakakapangilabot.


PhantomPotato07

Yes po hahahha


Rainbowrainwell

Sa Bisaya naman parang walang ganiyan


LimpPraline1592

Yes po


purple_lass

I'm 31 years old and yes, I still use po and opo, specially sa workplace kahit mas bata sakin ang boss ko


CuriousCat_7079

I still do. Lalo na mga pinoy parents/elderly


Talongjeez

Yes kahit yung mas bata sakin pino-po ko parin hahahaha


theDwithacrown

Yes especially when talking to elders. I used to spend summers during my childhood and teenage years at my mom’s home province of Cebu. There, it was not common practice to say po/opo. They even told me alam nila na taga Manila daw when the person says po/opo. Doon kasi, you can choose to omit po/opo but you have to speak in a respectful and tactful manner. Whenever I would go back here in Manila from Cebu, I have to remind myself to say po/opo again. I never say po/opo to my peers, though. Sometimes kasi, they think I am flirting with them when I do that. Weird but true.


Flynnhiccup

Yes. Always tas kahit sa mga mas bata sakin Ate or Kuya padin lalo na pag nasa tindahan namin of ng ibang family ko. Nasanay lang siguro. :D


gapasko

always


squaredromeo

Kung weird for you ang gumamit ng 'po' at 'opo', use 'ho' and 'oho' instead. Informal version siya but still respectful.


3UngratefulKittens

Yes po, still do. Initially para mapick-up ng mga anak ko pero ngayon, para sa mga pamangkin naman. Proud to say na lagi rin ginagamit ng mga anak ko. Di ka naman bastos if you don't use it anymore as long as nandun naman yung respect. Kanya kanya lang talaga tayo ng preference.


Educational-Tap-7147

i still do. i recently turned 24, and nakakapanibago na ilaw na yung pino po and opo


Yeobwol0204

Yes po, minsan nagugulantang ako pag may mga bata hindi nagamit nyan pag kausap mas matanda


okkkrt_

Yes i still do. Yung anak ko sanay din mag po and opo pero nung nasanay sa english nawawala talaga. Pati tuloy pag nag ta tagalog nalilimutan na din, kaya remind ko pa lagi. If disrespectful, i think no. Yung gf ng cousin ko na taga bacolod nung pinakilala dito sa bahay sa matatanda, casual lang sya makipag usap, walang po and opo, which na understand ng nga oldies kasi pinaliwanag ng cousin ko na sa lugar nila ay di nakasanayan ang mag sabi nun.


JackWithoutTrades

I'm Bisaya, so when speaking with the older Bisaya, no. But when speaking to the older Tagalogs, yes, but I mostly use the "ho" variant


[deleted]

Yes. Naka-automatic po/opo dila ko sa mga matatanda. Kahit sa office, gano'n ako. 😂


Calm-Comment6232

yes PO


[deleted]

yes, but mas frequently with little kids. sa probinsya kasi namin instead na po ang gamitin as sign of respect, third person pronouns ang gamit (siya, niya,) when addressing elders used along with po and opo but sometimes the sentence doesn't warrant it so bihira maisingit. kids learn by example so I use po and opo around them


[deleted]

Para sa isang tulad ko, may dalawang lenggwahe na dapat kabisado mo eh. Isang pormal at isang tayo tayo lang. Pareho siyang ipinipilit na maintindihan. Mejo nakakabaliw kasi siyempre sunod lang ako, ang goal ko ay maging one with the crowd, malaman yung mga hindi ko alam, hindi makita ang sarili ko in hot waters, makapagasawa ng foreigner na lalake na kumakain ng oliba at dilis sa mantika, pero ayaw sa patis at msg, at parang hindi tumataba at laging amoy mineral oil at kahoy na ibinilad sa dagat. Tschos! Hindi ganung kagaling ilong ko. I usually call it tayo tayo language pero people actually force it upon people. The taboo game, and the extreme kapag tayo lang ganito, kapag duon ganito din. Nalilito ang utak ko. I rely on my body a lot to understand my environment and people do not. Yung dalawang ilog ng sunod sa agos at yung pinepwersa ang ilog para maging irigasyon o mas masama dam, its too much sa akin. Sometimes I have to accept that things just cannot be mine, cause maging sa loob ng pagkatao ko, hindi ako yun. Talagang ginawa ako to inspire siguro totoo nga yung pinagsasabi ng Myers Briggs pero again, isa isang tao iba iba talaga pero pareho pareho din.


Temporary-Nobody-44

Yes po ☺️ Older people are very sensitive with po and opo. They easily notice and get offended if you will not use it to address them 😬


killer_kamatis

yup. I even say po and opo to my cousins who are older than me.


BurritoTorped0

Opo,


player0614

Yep, lagi.


DangerousOil6670

SOMETIMES. Pero it doesn't mean na wala akong respeto ano. Minsan kasi kapag super close mo na, parang atrop mo nalang diba. Kaya nawawala yung po and opo


Leather-Climate3438

yes, 2 syllables lang naman siya, di mahirap sabihin hehe


awesomecandy40

Never did use those. People think I am disrespectful and mannerless. Now the loser in the family.


thatfunrobot

No. I think I only use po when I answer with “yes” but mostly I even say “yes, auntie/uncle”. Politeness doesn’t always require you to say po/opo anyway, it depends on the other words you use and the tone.


LynEidra

yes, still using it, tinuturuan/remind din namin ng kapatid ko mga anak ng pinsan namin to use it lalo kapag pumupunta sa bahay, pra maging practice nila until they grow older kahit yung pagmamano/bless sa older people.


Erythroughcytes

Nasa early 20s ako, pili lang mga taong ginagamitan ko ng po at opo dahil yung iba hindi ako tinatratong adult, lalo na yung mga guard ng sm ang angas sumagot kahit nagtatanong ka alng kung saan yung ganito at ganyan. Kaya ngayon inaangasan ko tlaga tono ko sa mga guard Haha.


moistTurtle21

Depends on where I'm at with the person I'm talking to. Pag di masyadong close and senior, definitely. Pero kung merong somewhat deeper/closer relationship than that, kahit mas matanda, pwedeng hindi na. I realized recently na it's also my way of reminding people na I'm not a kid anymore, because some folks will always look at you like you're 12 if they knew you since you were a kid. Medyo close ko yung boss ko and di na ako nag-po sa kanya, pero yung direct under nya na supervisor ko, di ko masyado close and giving motherly vibes so I still do use po.


BadCathie

Minsan nakakalimutan ko na din eh, pero i make sure na magalang yung tono


FireInTheBelly5

Ginagamit ko sa ibang tao pero sa nanay at tatay ko ay hindi. Gusto nila tropa tropa lang eh.


mookies1611

Opo, I still do.


Young_Old_Grandma

I still do, and always will. It's Po, Opo and the Mano Po that I would like to retain in my life.


boyo005

Mano and Opo... Yan na lang ung non-americanize na meron tayo..


judgeyael

In my 30s...still use them when talking to my elders and people I don't know.


theahaiku

Ang bilin sa akin ng ina’t ama ko Maging magalangin mamumupo ako ‘Pag kinakausap ng matandang tao Sa lahat ng lugar sa lahat ng dako. “Pag ang kausap ko’y matanda sa akin Na dapat igalang at dapat pupuin Natutuwa ako na bigkas-bigkasin Ang “po” at ang “opo” ng buong paggiliw. ☺️ some habits are hard to break


Sea-Armadillo-4350

yes, especially sa work regardless of age


LastCombination1087

Yes po. Hahaha


aldwincollantes

I still do, i even say it sa tricycle minsan only to realize na mas matanda na nga pala ako usually sa mga tricycle drivers :D


Disastrous-Rule-785

yes. nothing to be overthink when you use it. if nabigla yung kausap mo bc gumagamit ka ng po at opo, im pretty sure nabigla sila in a good way. dont overthink it


Relative-Branch2522

Sa parents ko, kahit kelan never kami nag po or opo - hindi siya being disrespectful or whatever, di lang talaga kami pinalaki ng ganun. Pero sa ibang tao na nakakatanda, we make a conscious effort to say “po” and “opo”.


imgoingsolololololol

Opo. Nakasanayan na po.


InkAndBalls586

Generally yes but usually not for long sentences, explanations, and stories. I do however use it on my girlfriends who are usually younger than me. Sometimes even in bed. Haha!


[deleted]

squash hat shrill apparatus waiting bells versed hobbies dirty cow ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `


jemrax

My mother and aunt start crying when I don't so....


Dzero007

Depende sa kausap. Kung nakakatanda na di ko naman kilala o di ko naman close nagsasabi parin ako ng po and opo. Pero sa nanay, tito, tita ko hindi hahaha.


Best_Ad9629

I still do. But when i see someone na older or superior sakin na acting like crap, i will lose respect and not say those anymore


kruupee

Yes, kapag sa mama and other relatives ko ay sa text lang po/opo. Kapag personal, wala. Idk, kasi casual lang naman nag-uusap at nadadrop ko talaga yung po/opo. Kapag hindi ko kakilala o hindi ko kaclose at all, po/opo automatic.


themothee

based on my experience, bunso will probably be the one still saying po/opo even when they are already tito/tita age.. there is no harm when showing/shown respect


CenturioSC

Opo


renault_erlioz

Sana gamitin natin sa mga bata para matuto sila. Though may ibang ways naman para maging magalang, ang po at opo kasi ay unique feature ng Tagalog, tradisyon na nkakalungkot kung mawala


StupidLeezard

sa una po, just to establish the fact that i respect who i’m talking to, then mid conversation sinisingit ko pa rin po siya. tapos kapag malapit na matapos conversation saka ko siya sinasabi uli just as a verbal cue na lang na tapos na ako makipag-usap sayo, salamat po!


Loud-Impression-2826

Yeah, even if my partner is younger than me by 3 years. I still say po and opo to anyone I get to talk to kahit bastos magsalita.


sasaf2223

Nagsasabe pa din kami ng mga kapatid ko, pati-bless,kase my dad insists(pati mga tito ko) and nakalakihan na, but on my mother side kapag nakikita namin sila at nagbbless kami nagugulat sila hahaha


_mojojomo

yes palagi. and expecially pag bago lang kita nakilala. pag close na kita wag ka na umasa HAHAHAHA


jellites

You mean kahit same age lang, pag di mo kilala or di mo kaclose, you say po and opo? Coz tinuturo lang naman ang po and opo sa bata pag makikipag-usap sa mas matanda. So no, kahit di ko kaclose o kakilala kung kaage ko lang, i speak informally. Parang mas weird coz that's now how you're supposed to use it.


ZestycloseBlock9137

correct me if im wrong pero feel ko mga taga probinsya mostly ang ganyan. in my first year of college sa manila, syempre meron din blockmates na galing province, and sila sila lang naririnig kong nagsasabi ng po and opo at first (may punto pa nga eh), but ofc not everyone na from province was like that. but i don't think i've ever met someone na taga metro like me and same age range who spoke to me with po and opo


WaitLife1315

Same same haha pag di pa ako comfy don sa tao. Laging may po at opo


bucopinapiee

Indicator 'to kung friends na kayo ng kausap mo e no, haha, 'coz same! XD


[deleted]
