Questions & Answers about Oo, salamat sa tubig.

Why do we use Oo instead of Opo?

Oo is the more casual or informal way of saying yes in Filipino. Opo is its more polite or formal counterpart. When talking with friends or peers in an informal setting, Oo is preferable, while Opo is used in situations requiring greater respect (for example, talking to elders or in professional settings).

What does salamat mean exactly, and is it used only for water?

Salamat simply means thank you. You can use it in many contexts, not just when thanking someone for water. For example, Salamat sa regalo (Thank you for the gift) or Salamat sa tulong (Thank you for the help).

What does sa do in the sentence Salamat sa tubig?

Sa is a preposition that can mean in, on, at, or to, depending on context. In Salamat sa tubig, it indicates that you are expressing gratitude specifically for the water.

How would you say this in a slightly more polite way?

You could say Opo, salamat po sa tubig. Adding po is a polite marker, used to show respect to the listener.

Can I make the sentence longer to be more specific, like mentioning “cold” water?

Yes! You can say Oo, salamat sa malamig na tubig to indicate you appreciate the cold water. The structure is basically the same; you just add malamig (cold) before tubig (water).
