/da-HIL do-ON/
FIL: Isang pariralang nag-uugnay sa isang sanhi at sa resulta nito; bilang bunga o resulta ng naunang nabanggit na sitwasyon o pangyayari.
EN: therefore; for that reason; because of that
This is the Tagalog for 'And that's the tea.' or 'So, yeah, that's why.' You lay out all the receipts (the 'dahil'), and then you drop the 'doon' to point to the consequence. 'Hindi siya nag-reply sa chat mo for 3 days. **Dahil doon**, single ka na ulit.'
From Tagalog `dahil` (because) + `doon` (there).
ROOT MEANING: because
Used to connect a previously stated reason to a resulting action or conclusion. It's more formal than just saying 'kaya' (so).
🇵🇭 Laging umuulan sa hapon. Dahil doon, palagi akong nagdadala ng payong.
🇺🇸 It always rains in the afternoon. Because of that, I always bring an umbrella.
