Pakiabot po ninyo ang mangkok ng sabaw kay Lola.

Pakiabot means please pass, please hand over, or please reach this over.

It is built from:

• paki-: a request marker, similar to please
• abot: a root related to reaching or handing something to someone

So Pakiabot po ninyo... is a polite way to ask someone to pass something.

Po is a politeness particle. It shows respect, especially when speaking to:

• elders
• strangers
• people of higher status
• anyone you want to address politely

It does not change the basic meaning of the sentence. It makes the request more courteous.

In this sentence, po fits naturally after the first word: Pakiabot po ninyo...

In this kind of request pattern, the person being asked to do the action is often marked with a genitive pronoun, not a nominative one.

So Filipino says:

• Pakiabot mo... = Please pass...
• Pakiabot ninyo... = Please pass...

rather than using ka or kayo in this structure.

That is why ninyo sounds natural here, while kayo would not be the normal choice in this sentence.

It can mean either:

• you all
• you as a polite or respectful singular

So in this sentence, ninyo could mean:

• you are speaking to several people, or
• you are speaking respectfully to one person

Because the sentence also has po, many learners will hear it as especially polite. Context tells you whether it is singular or plural.

Ang marks the noun phrase that the sentence is centered on.

Here, ang mangkok ng sabaw is the thing being passed. So ang is marking the bowl of soup as the main item involved in the action.

A simple way to think of it is:

• ang often marks the main noun phrase
• here, that noun phrase is ang mangkok ng sabaw

Ng sabaw means of soup or with soup in this context.

So:

• mangkok = bowl
• ng sabaw = of soup

Together, mangkok ng sabaw means bowl of soup.

This is a very common Filipino pattern:

• tasa ng kape = cup of coffee
• baso ng tubig = glass of water
• mangkok ng sabaw = bowl of soup

Kay is used before a person's name or a personal kinship term when that person is the recipient or direction of the action.

So:

• kay Lola = to Grandma

By contrast, sa is usually used for:

• places
• common nouns
• non-personal destinations

For example:

• sa mesa = on/to the table
• sa kusina = in/to the kitchen

Because Lola is a person, kay is the correct marker here.

Lola means grandmother or grandma.

It is capitalized here because it is being used like a name or title, similar to English Grandma in:

• Give this to Grandma.

If it were used more like a general noun, it might not be capitalized. But in this sentence, Lola is being used as a specific person you are addressing or referring to.

Yes. This word order is very natural.

Filipino often puts the verb or request word first. So the structure here is roughly:

• Pakiabot = please pass
• po = polite particle
• ninyo = by you / you
• ang mangkok ng sabaw = the bowl of soup
• kay Lola = to Grandma

English and Filipino do not organize sentences in exactly the same way, so it is normal that the order feels different from Please pass Grandma the bowl of soup or Please pass the bowl of soup to Grandma.

Yes, if you are speaking to one person informally.

Compare:

• Pakiabot mo ang mangkok ng sabaw kay Lola.
  = informal singular
• Pakiabot po ninyo ang mangkok ng sabaw kay Lola.
  = polite/respectful or plural

So the choice depends on who you are talking to:

• mo = one person, casual
• ninyo = plural, or polite/respectful

You could, but the nuance changes a little.

• kay Lola focuses on Grandma as the recipient of the action: pass it to Grandma
• para kay Lola focuses more on Grandma as the intended beneficiary: it is for Grandma

In many real situations, both may make sense. But if you are talking about physically handing or passing something over to her, kay Lola is the more direct choice.

Sometimes yes, but Pakiabot po ninyo... is a very natural placement.

A common rule of thumb is that po often comes near the beginning of the sentence, usually after the first word or expression.

So:

• Pakiabot po ninyo ang mangkok ng sabaw kay Lola.
  sounds very natural.

You may also hear slight variations in real speech, but the version in your sentence is standard and polite.
