/hu-LI/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa pagiging pinakadulo o nasa katapusan ng isang pagkakasunod-sunod, serye, o panahon. Maaari rin itong mangahulugang nahuhuli sa takdang oras.
EN: late; last; final
This is the status of your friend who's always "on the way" but is actually still in the shower. It's also the "last" piece of pizza everyone is too shy to get. Also, the "last" episode of your favorite K-drama that you're not ready to watch. "Pahabol" is its first cousin.
From Proto-Philippine *huli, meaning 'behind, last'.
The meaning changes based on context (e.g., 'huling kabanata' - final chapter; 'huli sa klase' - late for class). The pronunciation /hu-LI/ distinguishes it from /HU-li/ (catch).
