EN: revenge, retaliation, requital
This is the OG 'resbak.' When someone does you dirty, and you just can't let it go. It's the plot of every teleserye where the bida comes back rich and fabulous to make the kontrabida's life miserable. It can also be a good thing, like returning a favor ('gantihan ng pabor'), but let's be real, we usually think of the juicy, dramatic kind.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *ganti.
Often has a negative connotation of vengeance, but can be neutral (gantihan ng tulong - return of help) or positive (gantimpala - reward).
🇵🇭 Huwag kang magtanim ng sama ng loob at maghangad ng ganti.
🇺🇸 Don't harbor ill feelings and seek revenge.
🇵🇭 Ang pagtulong niya sa akin ay may ganti ring kabutihan mula sa akin.
🇺🇸 His help for me will have a requital of goodness from me.
