Size Guide
$24.99 USD

Two words. Every situation covered.

"Ay, nako" is what comes out when there is nothing else to say. Mild exasperation, real surprise, secondhand embarrassment, affection, disbelief, and plain exhaustion all fit inside two syllables that most Filipinos learn before they learn to read. Your mom said it. Your lola said it. You said it this morning about something small, and you will say it again tonight about something smaller.

No translation quite works. "Oh my gosh" is not it. "Oh no" is not it either. That is exactly the point: it only lands if you grew up hearing it, which is why it reads instantly to every kababayan who did and stays a private joke to everyone else.

Clean, bold lettering on a comfortable everyday tee. A safe gift for Filipino moms, titas, titos, and anyone in the diaspora who has already said it three times today. Pairs with Hay, naku, Ay, sus! and Susmaryosep from TeaKo's Filipino expressions series.

Product details: Unisex adult t-shirt in standard men's sizing, sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL. Available in Black, Navy, Dark Chocolate, Sport Grey, Natural, and White. Soft ring-spun cotton; heather and grey shades are a cotton/poly blend. Direct-to-garment printed on demand. Free shipping. Designed by TeaKo.

Spelled differently at your house? We also make Ay, naku, Hay, naku and Hay, nako.

The perfect shirt for my 94 year old mom who's every express is, Ay Nako!!! The shirt arrived on time and the quality and color of the shirt were great! We're thinking of ordering one for each one of the family to wear at the same time. Oh Ay Nako!!!
