A greeting, which in English means, "How are you?" It is often replied to with, "Mabuti," which means good or fine.
Usage of "Kumusta ka/po"
Po is a term that is used to show respect. That is why:
- "Kumusta ka?" is INFORMAL and is used among friends or when addressing a younger person.
- "Kumusta po" or "Kumusta ka po?" is FORMAL and is used when addressing an older person. In fact, the best way to say it is "Kumusta po kayo?" using the formal/plural you (kayo) instead of the informal/singular you (ka).
- "Kamusta" is a popular but wrong way of spelling "kumusta."

Get the Kurush mug.Just wanted to correct the already posted definition. You wouldn't use: kumusta ka po.
"Po" is an enclitic pronoun used in more formal situations while "ka" is a pronoun used for "you" in a casual context. Thus, the two can never be used together.
The correct form using "po" would be kumusta po kayo.

Get the Kumusta ka mug.This forest creature is usually found in the back woods of Minnesota. It stands close to 6 feet, and is covered with a bright red fur and has a pronounced sloping forehead, much like a caveman. It is known for its remarkable stupidity and amazing ability to hurt your brain by opening its mouth.
