Is the word “Mabute” a Tagalog word?

3 Answers

• I think you mean the word, "mabuti". It's usually a response to "Kumusta"? "kumusta is from the Spanish greeting, " como estas " meaning, "how are you". The response is "mabuti" which means " good".

• I think you mean--M'bote ?

  That is a Cebuano word. Used in the Central Visayas region. Not a Tagalog word.

  Someone says Kumusta in greeting, Hi Good Morning or good day.How are you?

  You Reply --M'bote and that is simply, Hi back, thanks.

  Of course, I only know Bisaya and not Tagalog so I may be wrong and that word as you spell it is Tagalog for something--wait and see the next replies I think??

• "Mabuti" is Tagalog. In English it means good.

  As in 'How are you?'

  "Mabuti".
