EN: dangerous, delicate, risky
It's that feeling when you're walking in a dark alley in Manila at 2 AM. Or when you tell your mom "mamaya na" when she asks you to do a chore. Basically, anything that puts you in a tight spot, from a sketchy investment to an "it's complicated" relationship status.
From Spanish "delicado" meaning 'delicate' or 'sensitive'. Its meaning in Tagalog has shifted more towards 'dangerous' or 'risky'.
Often used to describe situations, places, or even people that pose a threat. Can also mean 'delicate' in a medical or sensitive context.
