      VOCABULARY AND CULTURE TIP (Familiarity) When you go shopping in the Philippines, some vendors or salespeople may call you ate (elder sister) or kuya (elder brother). Meanwhile, some news reporters call their audiences kapamilya (of the same family). Filipinos try to build personal connections by using words that refer to family members. Don’t be offended if someone calls you Elder Brother or Elder Sister!

       GRAMMAR

       Comparatives and Superlatives

      For comparatives, we use the words mas (more) before the adjective and kaysa (than) between the two people/objects being compared. In the sentence patterns below, note the use of the object marker kay (used when comparing people), and the preposition sa (used after kaysa with pronouns or when comparing objects). Kaysa can be omitted in conversational Tagalog.
