EN: Like that (far); that way
The OG 'like that.' This is the word for describing something far from both you and the person you're talking to. 'See that mountain over there? Ganoon kataas 'yung pangarap ko.' It's the parent of the slang 'ganern' and 'ganoin.' It's also used to mean 'in that manner' when referring to something previously mentioned. 'So you broke up? Bakit ganoon?' (Why did it happen like that?).
From 'ga-' (like, as) + 'doon' (there, yonder).
ROOT MEANING: there (far)
Part of the three-level system of Tagalog demonstratives: 'ganito' (like this, near me), 'ganyan' (like that, near you), 'ganoon' (like that, far from both of us).
