EN: unjust; crooked
When someone says 'daang matuwid' (the straight path), this is the opposite. It's the crooked path, the sketchy deal, the politician's promise that sounds too good to be true. Yung kaibigan mong laging may 'shortcut' sa lahat ng bagay? Medyo di-matwid ang galawan.
From `di-` (not) + `matwid` (straight, just).
Used both literally for physical straightness and metaphorically for moral or ethical correctness. The moral sense is more common.
