FIL: Ang bituin sa gitna ng sistemang solar na nagbibigay ng liwanag at init sa mundo. Tumutukoy rin ito sa isang yugto ng panahon na katumbas ng 24 na oras.
EN: sun, day
The ultimate source of life and, for us Pinoys, the reason we need umbrellas even when it's not raining. It dictates whether it's a good day to do laundry ('maaraw'). It's also how we measure our lives, from 'kaarawan' (birthday) to 'araw-araw' (everyday hustle). It can be your best friend (beach day!) or your worst enemy (traffic at noon).
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qajaw.
The dual meaning of 'sun' and 'day' is very common. Context, such as time of day or accompanying words ('buong araw' - whole day, 'sikat ng araw' - sun's rays), makes the meaning clear.
🇵🇭 Napakasikat ng araw kaninang tanghali.
