FIL: Isang pormal na pagbati o pagbibigay-galang sa isang tao, lalo na sa pamamagitan ng salita o sulat.
EN: greeting
This is the formal, almost old-school word for a greeting. Not your casual 'Hi!' or 'Uy!'. Think 'Maligayang Pasko' card greetings, or the opening of a formal letter: 'Isang malugod na bating pampasko sa iyo!' It’s got a bit of a classic, respectful vibe.
Often found in the phrase 'bating pampasko' (Christmas greeting) or in formal correspondence. Less common in everyday speech compared to 'bati'.
