FIL: Isang uri ng maliit, tuyo, at malutong na tinapay o keyk, na karaniwang kinakain bilang meryenda.
EN: biscuit; cracker
The more "conyo" or formal way to say 'biskwit'. It's what you call the crackers you serve to important bisita, not the Fita you absent-mindedly dip in your coffee. Think of the assorted butter cookies in the blue can that your mom never lets you open because it's "for guests" (but is now just a sewing kit).
From Spanish "bizcocho" or English "biscuit".
Often used interchangeably with "biskwit," but "biskuwit" can sound slightly more formal or refer to a wider variety of baked goods.
