FIL: Ang katawagan para sa isang aso na nasa kasariang pambabae.
EN: bitch (female dog)
The literal, no-malice translation for a female dog. Before the English word 'bitch' got its other, more colorful meanings, this was its simple, biological definition. In Tagalog, 'asong babae' is purely descriptive and doesn't carry the negative connotation it does in English. It's just a girl doggo, the future nanay of cute tuta (puppies).
Kombinasyon ng "aso" (dog) at "babae" (female).
ROOT MEANING: dog
This is a neutral, descriptive term. It is not used as an insult in the same way its English equivalent is.
🇵🇭 Nanganak na ang aming asong babae; lima ang tuta niya.
