Vocabularies #2 Family



Here are some useful nouns and titles.  Those with asterisk can be used to non-family, including strangers, as long as they are older than you. Any senior citizen can be called "lolo" or "lola" even if they are not your grandparents. (Ex. They are crossing the street, you want to help them)

*Ate (Older sister)
*Kuya (Older brother)
Tita (Aunt)
Tito (Uncle)
*Lolo (Grandpa)
*Lola (Grandma)
Tatay / Papa (Father)
Nanay / Mama (Mother)

Pamilya (Family)


They can stand alone or you use them before the name.

Examples:
Ate Danna! Kumusta na po kayo?
Kuya, pahinging pagkain.
Lolo, okay lang po ba kayo?
Lola, sino pong kasama niyo?
