   I ask like this:

   To someone older:

   "Marunong po kayong mag-Tagalog?"

   To someone younger or same age as me:

   "Marunong kang mag-Tagalog?"

   Adding "po" makes a sentence more formal and respectful.

   Although the literal translation for "Do you speak Tagalog" is "Nakakapagsalita ka ba ng Tagalog?" or more informally "Nakakapag-Tagalog ka?".

   Most Filipinos would use "Nakakapag-Tagalog ka?" or "Marunong kang mag-Tagalog?"

   "marunong ka bang mag-tagalog?" – do you speak tagalog

   "parlez-vous français" – do you speak french

   ¿Habla Español? – do you speak spanish
