意味
Politely leaving before others.
文化的背景
The 'Filipino Goodbye' is a long process. 'Mauna na ako' is just the first step. Expect to be asked 'Bakit?' (Why?) and 'Kumain ka na ba?' (Have you eaten yet?) before you actually reach the door. Leaving exactly on time is sometimes jokingly called 'Spanish Leave' or 'English Leave' if done without saying anything. 'Mauna na ako' is the social lubricant that prevents you from looking like you are rushing away from work. In many Tagalog-speaking provinces, leaving without 'pagpapaalam' (asking permission/saying goodbye) is considered a sign of bad upbringing. In fast-paced cities like Manila, 'Mauna na ako' is often used to beat the traffic. It is a universally accepted and respected excuse for leaving early.
The 'Sige' Prefix
Always start with 'Sige' (Sige, mauna na ako) to make it sound more natural and less abrupt.
Don't Just Walk Out
In Filipino culture, 'ghosting' a party is considered rude. Even a quick 'Mauna na ako' to the person next to you is better than nothing.

Use 'Po' for Instant Respect
If you are unsure of the formality, always add 'po'. 'Mauna na po ako' will never be wrong.

よくある質問
5 問Not exactly. It's more like 'I'll go ahead.' It's used when you leave but others stay. 'Paalam' is the literal word for 'Goodbye'.
Yes, but change 'ako' to 'kami'. 'Mauna na kami.'
'Sige' acts as a transition word, like 'Alright' or 'Okay then' in English. It makes the exit smoother.
It's not rude if you provide a reason, like 'Gabi na' or 'May pasok pa ako.'
'Una na ako' is just a more casual, shortened version. Both are very common.
