Being the youngest in my family, I've never been called "ateh". NEVER. I don't have any younger cousins so I most definitely have never been called "ateh". I was always the baby for everyone. So whenever I see someone younger than me and they called me "ateh", I get all giddy and happy in the inside and I just can't help but to have a smile on my face! I feel so high and mighty because I'm actually OLDER! You might think I'm weird, but being the youngest in your WHOLE family, you would get tired of not being able to be called "ateh" by anyone. It sucks! People would be like, "No... Don't call me that! You make me feel old!" and I'd be like, "AAWWUUHH!! YOU CALLED ME 'ATEH!'" Yeah that's all really. I just like the fact that younger generations are respecting my by called me "ateh" yaknow?
It's actually spelled as ATE but people usually read that as AY-T. So I wrote down the say people would pronounce it, which is AH-TEH.
"Ate" or "Ateh" means older sister/girl in Tagalog, the Filipino Language.
"Kuya" means older brother/boy.
