EN: to ghost (in dating)
In the Philippines, to "ghost" someone is the national sport of modern dating. It's when the person you've been talking to 24/7 suddenly disappears like a bubble, leaving you on 'seen'. Walang paalam, walang "babye," parang multo na lang na naglaho sa ere.
From the English verb 'to ghost', which gained popularity in the 2010s to describe a phenomenon in online dating.
Used as a verb in Taglish. The base word 'ghost' is used, but it implies the action. Often inflected with Tagalog affixes like 'i-ghost' (to ghost someone) or 'na-ghost' (was ghosted).
