EN: then, in that case, therefore
The chismosa's favorite transition word. It's the Tagalog 'So...' or 'Then what happened?' It connects one part of the story to the next, usually with a hint of consequence or drama. 'Sabi niya hindi siya pupunta. Entonses, bakit siya nandito?' (He said he wasn't coming. So, why is he here?). It's the verbal equivalent of leaning in for the tea.
Spanish 'entonces' (then)
A very common conversational word, often used to draw a conclusion or move the narrative forward.
🇵🇭 Ayaw mong kumain ng gulay? Entonses, wala kang dessert.
🇺🇸 You don't want to eat vegetables? In that case, you get no dessert.
🇵🇭 Umalis na pala siya. Entonses, sino ang kasama mo ngayon?
🇺🇸 So he/she already left. Then who are you with now?
