FIL: Isang kolokyal na termino para sa kasintahan, nobyo, o nobya.
EN: boyfriend/girlfriend, partner
The all-encompassing, gender-neutral term for your significant other. It's less formal than "kasintahan" and less dramatic than "mahal." It's what you call the person you share your Netflix password and unli-rice with. The final boss you have to introduce to your parents.
Salitang balbal na pinaniniwalaang pinaikling anyo o binaliktad na salitang "asawa". Naging popular sa komunidad ng LGBTQ+ at kalaunan ay ginamit na rin ng lahat.
Very common in modern, informal conversations.
