How do you say bra in Tagalog?

The word "bra" in Tagalog can be translated in a few ways, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Suso - This is the most direct translation, referring to the breast itself. It's considered more formal and less commonly used in everyday conversation.

Informal:

* Sutyen - This is the most common and everyday word for "bra."

* Brassier - This is a direct translation of "bra" from English. It's not as common as "sutyen."

* Sando - This is a more casual term and can also refer to a tank top. It's usually used when talking about a "sports bra" or a "bralette."

Note: It's important to remember that these terms can be considered slightly vulgar or inappropriate in certain contexts, especially when talking about the breasts directly.

Alternatives:

* Panloob na damit pang-itaas - This is a more polite and literal way to refer to a bra, meaning "underwear for the upper body."

* Pang-itaas na damit - This is a general term for "upper body clothing" and can include bras.

It's always a good idea to use the most appropriate term depending on the situation and your relationship with the person you're talking to.
