EN: unaccustomed; not a habit
When your friend who only drinks instant coffee suddenly orders a V60 drip single-origin whatever, that's **hindi gawi**. It's doing something out of character, like a night owl waking up at 5 AM to jog. It’s the feeling of awkwardness when you're forced to do something you don't normally do, like wearing formal clothes when you live in pambahay.
From `hindi` (not) + `gawi` (habit, custom).
Describes an action or situation that is out of the ordinary for a person. Often used as 'hindi ko gawi' (it's not my habit).
