  1. A

    Nay, kayo po ba ang gumawa ng TikTok account ni Sofia?

    Mom, were you the one who made Sofia's TikTok account?

  2. B

    Oo, ako ang tumulong. Nagsasayaw lang naman siya, at ako ang nagbabantay.

    Yes, I helped her. She only dances, and I'm the one keeping watch.

  3. A

    Labintatlo po ang pinakamababang edad sa TikTok, Nay. Walo pa lang po si Sofia.

    The minimum age on TikTok is thirteen, Mom. Sofia's only eight.

  4. B

    E ang dami ko ngang nakikitang mas bata pa sa kaniya roon.

    But I see so many kids on there who are even younger than her.

  5. A

    'Yon na nga po. Hindi po natin alam kung sino ang nanonood sa kanila.

    That's exactly the problem. We don't know who's watching them.

  6. B

    May natututuhan din naman siya. Natuto nga siyang magprito ng itlog doon.

    She learns things there too. She even learned to fry an egg from it.

  7. A

    Sige po, pero sa account ninyo na lang siya sumayaw, kasama kayo, at naka-private.

    All right, but she dances on your account instead, with you, and it's set to private.
