FIL: Isang katangian, karapatan, o pag-aari na inaangkin o taglay ng isang tao o bagay.
EN: claim, attribute, characteristic
This is what you call that special 'something' someone has. It's not a physical object, but a quality they 'own' or possess. "Ang galing niyang kumanta, 'yan talaga ang kaangkinan niya." It's their superpower, their special skill in the game of life. It can also be a claim to something, like that last piece of lechon you're eyeing.
From ka- + angkin (to claim, possess) + -an.
ROOT MEANING: claim; possession; innate quality
Can refer to a right, a possession, or more commonly, a quality or talent that is inherently part of someone.
