FIL: Isang lalaking kasintahan o karelasyon.
EN: boyfriend
The official term for 'jowa' (male version). He's the reason you're always 'kilig', the subject of your "sana all" posts, and the person your titas always ask about during family reunions ("O, nasaan na ang boyfriend mo?"). The Filipino equivalent is 'kasintahan', but let's be real, almost everyone says boyfriend or 'jowa'.
From English "boyfriend".
Extremely common in spoken and informal written Tagalog (Taglish). The native Tagalog term "kasintahan" is more formal.
🇵🇭 Ipakilala mo naman kami sa boyfriend mo.
🇺🇸 Introduce us to your boyfriend.
🇵🇭 Wala akong boyfriend ngayon, focus muna sa career.
🇺🇸 I don't have a boyfriend right now, I'm focusing on my career first.
