FIL: Isang tawag-paggalang sa kapatid na babaeng mas matanda o sa sinumang babaeng itinuturing na mas may edad.
EN: older sister
The OG. The firstborn daughter. She's your second mom, your personal ATM, your fashion consultant, and the one who gets blamed for everything you do. You also call the lady at the carinderia "Ate," the saleslady at SM "Ate," and basically any woman slightly older than you "Ate" to be respectful. She's the CEO of the "pasa-load" corporation.
Mula sa Hokkien Chinese na "a-chi" (阿姊), na nangangahulugang "nakatatandang kapatid na babae".
Ginagamit bago ang isang pangalan (hal. Ate Jane) o bilang isang standalone na pantawag.
🇵🇭 Ate, pahiram naman ng damit mo.
🇺🇸 Older sister, can I borrow your clothes?
🇵🇭 Pabili po, Ate.
🇺🇸 I'd like to buy something, Ma'am.
