FIL: Tumutukoy sa mataas na antas ng husay, kakayahan, o kalidad sa isang partikular na larangan o gawain.
EN: excellent, skilled; excellence, skill
This is the 'sana all' of skills. When someone's so good at something—singing, dancing, coding, cooking adobo—you just shake your head and say, 'Ang galing!' It's the opposite of 'pwede na 'yan.' This is the level you want to be at to impress your crush, your boss, or your tita who always asks when you're getting married.
Can be used as an adjective (magaling) or as a noun (ang galing). The word 'galing' by itself is often used as an exclamation of praise.
🇵🇭 Wow, ang galing mo talagang sumayaw!
🇺🇸 Wow, you're really excellent at dancing!
🇵🇭 Ipinamalas niya ang kanyang galing sa pagpipinta.
🇺🇸 She showed off her skill in painting.
