FIL: Isang ekspresyon na nangangahulugang lubos na kawalan o walang natira kahit isa man lamang mula sa isang grupo o kabuuan.
EN: not even one
The dramatic way of saying 'zero,' 'none,' or 'ubos na.' It's what your mom says when she asks who ate the cookies and you look at the empty jar. 'Nag-iwan ba kayo para sa akin?' '**Isa ma'y wala**!' It has more emotional impact than just saying 'wala.'
Combination of 'isa' (one), 'man' (even), 'ay' (is), and 'wala' (none). 'Ma'y' is a contraction of 'man ay'.
A common idiomatic expression. Emphasizes complete absence.
