EN: deaf-mute; deaf and mute
This is an old, somewhat dated term. Nowadays, we're more mindful of person-first language, but you'll still hear this, especially in older movies or from your lola. It's a compound of "bingi" (deaf) and "pipi" (mute). "Bingi't" is a contraction of "bingi at".
Combination of Tagalog "bingi" (deaf) and "pipi" (mute). The "'t" is a contraction of "at" (and).
While historically common, modern usage prefers more sensitive phrasing like 'taong may kapansanan sa pandinig at pananalita' (person with hearing and speech disability).
