EN: gross (as in total); brute
This is a two-for-one deal from Spanish. First, it's your 'bruto' salary – the big number on your payslip before PhilHealth, SSS, Pag-IBIG, and tax come for their share, leaving you with the 'net' which is just enough for milk tea. Second, it's that guy who cuts in line, doesn't say 'excuse me', and generally acts like a caveman. A 'brute'.
From Spanish 'bruto' meaning 'brute' or 'gross (in amount)'.
The context determines the meaning. 'Brutong sahod' (gross salary) vs. 'Ang bruto mo naman!' (You're such a brute!). It can function as both a noun and an adjective.
🇵🇭 Ang bruto niyang kita ay isang daang libong piso, ngunit ang net ay mas mababa.
🇺🇸 His gross income is one hundred thousand pesos, but the net is lower.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang maging bruto sa pakikitungo sa mga babae.
🇺🇸 Don't be a brute when dealing with women.
