FIL: Isang pansamantalang pagtigil o puwang sa isang serye, gawain, o proseso.
EN: hiatus, break, pause
That 'pahinga muna' moment. It's what your favorite K-pop group does before their comeback, what you tell your friends when you deactivate your social media for a week, or the state of your love life. It's not a breakup, it's a... hiatus.
From Latin 'hiatus' (gap, opening), borrowed via English.
Commonly used in entertainment (showbiz) and social media contexts. The Tagalog equivalent would be 'pahinga', 'pagtigil', or 'pamamahinga'.
