The most common Tagalog compliments usually begin with “ang” that functions as an intensifier.
Ang husay/galíng/ganda/guwápo/sipag/baít/talíno/etc. mo.
 
When addressing an older person, we replace “mo” with either “po ninyo/n’yo” or “ninyo/n’yo po”.
 
MABAÍT po kayo = You, sir/ma’am, are KIND.
ANG BAÍT po ninyo. = You’re SO/VERY KIND, sir/ma’am.
