Listed below are the ways one can say "yes" in Tagalog. They are all used in the affirmative similar to "yes", but each carries a slightly different connotation and usage.
- Oo
- Opo
- Okey
- Sige
Saying Yes
Oo
This is the most straightforward, neutral way to say yes in Tagalog. It can be used to answer yes/no questions.
Opo
This is the polite way of saying "yes". Filipinos use opo instead of oo when conversing with a person who is older or who commands authority, such as professors, employers, politicians and priests, as a sign of respect and courtesy. It can be likened to using "sir" or "ma'am" in English.
Okey
This is the same as "Okay" in English, and carries just about the same connotation. It is seldom used, however, in favor of sige.
Sige
The Tagalog equivalent for "Okay", and it is more popularly used than okey. Pronounced as (SEE-geh).
