In Tagalog, “what do you mean?” is commonly translated as:

  • “Anong ibig mong sabihin?”

You may also see slight variations like:

  • “Ano’ng ibig mong sabihin?” (same meaning, just a contracted form)
  • “Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?” (more complete/neutral form)

All of these are used to ask someone to clarify what they just said, just like “what do you mean?” in English.
