FIL: Isang pormal at marangal na salita para sa pagpanaw o pagkamatay; ang mahiga upang magpahinga nang payapa.
EN: to rest in peace; to lie in state (euphemism for to die)
This is the formal, almost poetic, way of saying someone has passed away. You won't hear this in casual chismis, but you'll see it in obituaries and hear it in eulogies. It literally means "to lie down in rest," which is a much gentler way to describe the final sleep. The classiest "log out from life" verb.
From 'himlay' (repose, rest) with the -um- infix.
A formal and respectful euphemism for "to die." Used in literature, formal announcements, and solemn occasions.
