EN: beloved, darling, sweetheart
This is the OG 'baby,' 'babe,' or 'mahal.' It's the word Jose Rizal would use in his love letters. Today, it sounds super poetic and romantic, like something you'd hear in a classic Filipino movie or a kundiman. Using this on your modern-day jowa might get you a 'sana all' or a 'Wow, ang deep!'
Old Tagalog
Highly poetic and archaic. Used in literature, songs, or for dramatic/romantic effect.
