What is deaf in Tagalog?

There are a few ways to say "deaf" in Tagalog, depending on the context:

* Bingi: This is the most common and direct translation of "deaf."

* Pipi: While literally meaning "mute," it is also used to refer to someone who is deaf. This is considered less polite and is best avoided in formal settings.

* Bulong: This word means "whisper" but is also used to describe someone who can't hear well.

* May kapansanan sa pandinig: This phrase literally means "has a disability in hearing" and is a more formal and respectful way to refer to someone who is deaf.

The most appropriate word to use will depend on the situation and the relationship between the speaker and the person being referred to.
