FIL: Ang kulay na nasa pagitan ng dilaw at asul sa spectrum ng liwanag; ang kulay ng mga dahon at damo.
EN: Green
The color of money (dollars, specifically), nature, and 'go' signals. It's the color of your 'plantita' friend's condo jungle. In classic Filipino humor, it can also mean 'dirty-minded' ('berde ang isip' or 'green-minded'). So depending on context, it could be about ecology or that joke your tito just told.
From Spanish 'verde'.
The native Tagalog term is 'lunti' or 'luntian,' but 'berde' is far more common in everyday conversation.
