FIL: Isang pormal o impormal na tawag sa ama; tatay.
EN: daddy; father
The English loanword for 'tatay' or 'ama'. In the Philippines, it can range from a term of endearment for your actual father to a... *different* kind of daddy. Depending on the tone and context, it can mean your biological dad asking why the wifi is slow, or it can be a term used for an attractive, older, often wealthy man. The internet has given this word layers.
From English "daddy".
Used both literally for one's father and colloquially/in slang with its modern, suggestive connotations. Context is everything.
🇵🇭 Umuwi ka na, hinahanap ka na ng daddy mo.
🇺🇸 Go home now, your daddy is looking for you.
🇵🇭 Sabi ng daddy ko, mag-aral daw akong mabuti.
🇺🇸 My daddy said I should study well.
