EN: monotonous, same old story
Literally "one tone". Used to describe something that's boringly repetitive, like your boss's lecture about KPIs. "Yung sermon ni mama, iisang tono na lang palagi: 'Mag-aral ka mabuti!'" It can also mean "in unison," like a choir singing with one voice, but it's more often used for something that's become predictable and monotonous.
Combination of 'iisa' (only one) and 'tono' (tone).
A common idiom. The context determines if it means "monotonous" (negative) or "in unison" (neutral/positive).
