EN: coolness; damp coldness
This is a deep Tagalog word for that specific kind of cold you feel during a '-ber' month morning or when you're in Baguio. It's not just 'malamig' (cold); it has a hint of dampness, like the air after it rains. Imagine the feeling of a cool, slightly wet towel on your forehead. That's dimig. It's the OG aircon.
Proto-Philippine *demig.
A more poetic or literary term for coldness, often implying moisture. Less common in everyday conversation than 'lamig'.
