Question about Filipino
What does "Ikaw" mean?
What does "Ikaw" mean?
I have been hearing many Filipinos answering with "Ikaw" when asked where to eat, to go, to buy and etc. I know "Ikaw" means "You", should I assume it's an expression of "It's up to you / your call"?

Yes, when you ask a question like "Where do we eat?" and someone says "Ikaw" it means like he or she is returning the question to you. like he or she is saying "How about you?" or "What do you think?" or "You decide" or "Your call" or "It's up to you" etc etc etc you get the concept :)

Yeah it means s/he is considering what you want to do or where you want to go. Sometimes it's hard to decide too so it's best to have something in mind. Lol
