GOOD NIGHT IN TAGALOG – Do you keep asking and wondering what the Filipino word for “good night” is? And, how exactly do Pilipino people express their farewell or “good night” in the Tagalog language?
In this lesson, we will show you what the Tagalog translation of this word is. Let’s get started!
In some countries, they use “good night” as a farewell at the end of the evening or when they’re going to leave a person after sending him or her home.
“Good night” is a signal before going to bed, and there are no direct translations in Tagalog.
However, it can be used in both English and Tagalog.
You can use either the spelling “goodnight” or “good night.” Both forms are okay to use. However, “good night” with two separate words is used in formal writing like creating an email or when you are writing a book.

Example Sentences of Good night in English to Tagalog Translation

The use of these words depends on the context of the sentence. Therefore, be mindful of what you write and what you say.
Let’s see some other examples of sentences that you can also use aside from saying “good night,” that will help your nighttime conversation with someone. Are you ready?

| English | Tagalog |

| Go to sleep | Matulog kana. |
| Sweet dreams or sleep soundly | Matulog ka nang mahimbing. |

| Are you going to sleep? | Matutulog ka na ba? |
| I’ll sleep ahead of you. | Mauuna na akong matulog. |

Do not use “magandang gabe” as a translation of “goodnight” in Tagalog if you mean farewell to someone who is about to go to sleep because it is not correct or appropriate.
This is sound confusing right? But “magandang gabe” is directly translated as “good evening.”
