EN: wait, act of waiting
The official sport of Filipinos. Whether it's waiting for your Grab, your order at Jollibee, or for your crush to notice you. 'Teka, hintay!' is the most common phrase you'll hear when someone is running late. It's a test of patience, a virtue we're all forced to learn.
Often used as a command "Hintay!" (Wait!). The verb form "maghintay" is more common in full sentences.
🇵🇭 Hintay! Huwag mo muna akong iwan.
🇺🇸 Wait! Don't leave me just yet.
🇵🇭 Ang tagal ng hintay ko sa'yo, saan ka ba galing?
🇺🇸 My wait for you was so long, where have you been?
