Den's answer is correct. Additionally, you can ask "anong tawag dito (what is this called)?", like if you go to a market and want to know what a fruit is called in Tagalog. For things farther away from you, you'd ask "anong tawag diyan?" or "anong tawag doon?" depending on how distant it is.

Paano mo sasabihin ang... sa Tagalog? For example, paano mo sasabihin ang dog sa Tagalog? How do you dog in Tagalog? Or you could say " ano sa Tagalog ang dog?"
