Book in Tagalog

Which one to use

Both libro and aklat mean "book." Use libro in everyday conversation, at a bookstore or at home: Nasaan ang libro ko? (Where's my book?) Aklat is the native Tagalog word and shows up more in school settings, formal writing and titles, such as the books of the Bible in Tagalog translations. Start with libro when you speak, and learn to recognize aklat when you read.
