6. Cno ka? (Sino ka?) Who are you? %26lt;-They are angry

The reason why you are getting gibberish from the translator is because none of the words were spelled correctly. I guess you are using text then? Or chat? Filipinos have their own language this days, especially in texting. They got tired of spelling the right words and ended up subtracting a vowel or almost all of the vowels in the word and mostly use numbers to use as pronounciation like the word "dito(deeto)" ends up being "d2(deetu)" that way texting is much easier.
If "cno po kyo?" is Sino po kayo?, it means "Who are you?" ("po" expresses respect) and 3-6 would also mean "Who are you?" ("ba" is used for questions)Who knows tagalog? Translation please..?
1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

means only one thing:

Who are you?



notes:

po and kayo were used as sign of respect.
Meaning:



1.) Who are you? (po is to add respect)

2.) No (indi or hindi..same thing)

3.) Who are you (same as 1)

4.) Who are you all? (kayo usually refers to 2 or more person)

5.) Who are you?

6.) Who're you? (saying it exactly like that)Who knows tagalog? Translation please..?
Numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 all mean "Who are you?"

The reason that Google Translate gives you gibberish is that "cno" is a short way (usually used in text messaging) to say "sino" or "who."

"Kyo" is short-form for "kayo" or "you," (in a formal way).



I think they were getting a bit flustered from number 4 on, as they removed the "po" from their question. Usually, when Filipino people speak to strangers, they use "po" to be polite.
1. Who are you? (polite)

2. No

3. Who are you? (polite)

4. Who are you? (plural and informal)

5. Who are you? (singular and informal)

6. Who are you? (singular and informal)
