EN: ex-partner
Ah, the 'ex'. The ghost of relationships past. In the Philippines, this one word carries a whole teleserye's worth of drama, hugot, and 'sana all' flashbacks. It could be an ex-jowa, ex-M.U., ex-boss, or even an ex-friend. The mere mention of 'yung ex ko' can either start a 3-hour kwentuhan or a 3-hour crying session.
From the English prefix 'ex-', meaning 'out of' or 'former', used as a standalone noun.
Used as a standalone noun in colloquial Filipino, almost always referring to a former romantic partner.
