“Tara na” is a very common and casual Tagalog phrase that means “Let’s go” in English. Filipinos use tara na when inviting someone to leave, start an activity, or move together, and it often carries a friendly, excited, or encouraging tone.
You might hear it among friends going out to eat, family members getting ready to leave the house, or coworkers signaling it’s time to go.
The word “tara” expresses an invitation, while “na” adds urgency, meaning now. Because Filipinos value togetherness, tara na feels warm and inclusive—it’s not just about going somewhere, but about going together.
