意思
Used to stop an action or quantity.
文化背景
Filipino hosts are known for 'pilit' (insisting). They will often offer food three or four times. Saying 'Tama na po' once might not be enough; you may need to say it firmly but with a smile several times. In Filipino culture, 'Tama na' is a way to save 'face.' By saying 'Enough,' you allow the other person to stop their behavior without a formal apology, which can be awkward in high-context cultures. Historically, 'Tama na' was the final warning before physical discipline (palo). Today, it remains the most common verbal boundary used by parents to maintain order. The phrase 'Tama Na, Sobra Na, Palitan Na!' was a famous slogan during the 1986 People Power Revolution. It shows how a simple A1 phrase can carry immense political weight.
The Hand Gesture
Always pair 'Tama na' with a flat palm facing the other person or your plate. It makes the refusal much clearer and more polite.
Tone Matters
A rising intonation makes it a question ('Is it enough?'), while a falling intonation makes it a command ('Stop it!').

The 'Po' Rule
If you are under 40 and the other person is over 40, never forget the 'po.' It turns a command into a respectful request.
