FIL: Ang lalaki o babae na legal na kabiyak o kinakasama ng isang tao sa matrimonyo ng kasal.
EN: spouse
Your better half, your partner in crime, the person you share your Netflix password and life with. In the Philippines, your **asawa** is also the person your relatives will ask about incessantly until you get one. It's a gender-neutral term, so it can be your husband or your wife. Your 'forever'.
Gender-neutral. To specify gender, one can say 'asawang lalaki' (husband) or 'asawang babae' (wife), though context usually makes this clear. 'Maybahay' (for wife) and 'bana' (for husband, less common) are other terms.
