The perfect response when your tita asks why you're still single. "Di-ubligado, Tita." It means you're not required or forced to do something. It's the freedom to not reply to a work email after 6 PM or to say "no" to another "ambagan" for a coworker's birthday. You're off the hook.
From `di-` (not) + `obligado` (obligated), from Spanish `obligado`.
A loanword combination used in more formal or legalistic contexts, but also understood in everyday conversation.
