FIL: Isang pang-abay na nagpapahiwatig ng paglilinaw, pagbibigay-diin, o konklusyon; katumbas ng "samakatuwid" o "kung kaya."
EN: therefore; that is to say
This is the super formal, almost biblical way of saying "in other words" or "so basically...". You'd use this if you were writing a legal document or a very serious thesis. In a text message, you'd just say "so," "ibig sabihin," or "ganito kasi 'yun." Using `alalaon` in a casual chat is like wearing a barong to the beach.
Mula sa "ala" + "doon", literal na "gaya niyon".
ROOT MEANING: there (far)
Halos palaging ginagamit sa pariralang "alalaong baga'y". Napakapormal at pampanitikan.
