“Kumusta ka?” “Ayos lang.” Ilang beses na ba natin ’yan nasabi ngayong linggo? Madalas, hindi ’yan ang buong kuwento. Kaya may Kumustahan: mga tanong na pang-kwentuhan, para sa barkada, pamilya, lifegroup, sa inyong dalawa, o sa’yo lang sa tahimik na gabi.

May English at Tagalog ang bawat card, at isinulat ang Tagalog para sa totoong usapan, hindi machine-translated. May Taglish din minsan, kasi ganun naman talaga tayo mag-usap. Pumili ng tanong sa ibaba, basahin nang malakas, at hayaang humaba ang kwentuhan. Hindi kailangang lumalim agad: puwedeng magsimula sa magaan, tapos tingnan kung saan kayo dadalhin ng usapan. Puwedeng mag-pass anumang oras.
