FIL: Isang katangian ng isang bagay na kasalukuyang bitbit o dinala ng isang tao.
EN: carried, brought
This isn't the baggage itself, but the *state* of being carried. 'Dala mo ba ang payong?' (Did you bring the umbrella?). It's the past participle acting like an adjective. It's the 'brought' in 'Is this the pancit you brought?' The stress on the last syllable is key!
The stress on the last syllable /da-LA/ distinguishes it from the noun /DA-la/ (load). This form is frequently used in questions.
