EN: Term of endearment for a young girl; miss
The Tita/Lola go-to name for any girl younger than them whose name they've forgotten. It's the female equivalent of 'totoy'. If a stranger calls you 'ineng' in the palengke, they're either being sweet or about to ask you to move out of the way.
Mula sa 'nene', isang karaniwang palayaw para sa mga batang babae.
Often used by older people when addressing younger females. Can sound a bit provincial or overly familiar in a formal urban setting.
🇵🇭 Ineng, pakikuha mo nga ang baso sa lamesa.
🇺🇸 Miss, could you please get the glass from the table.
🇵🇭 Kumain ka na ba, ineng?
🇺🇸 Have you eaten, dear?
