FIL: Pagiging marangal, kagalang-galang, at may mataas na puri.
EN: honorable; dignified; reputable
This describes a person who has *dangal*. Think of Jose Rizal, a respected lola in the community, or that one officemate who is always fair and professional. They are "dangalin". They carry themselves with dignity. They're the opposite of a *damuho*. This is a high-level compliment you don't just throw around.
From "dangal" (honor) + "-in" (suffix used here to form an adjective).
ROOT MEANING: honor; dignity; integrity
