FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging maasim; ang antas ng asim ng isang bagay, lalo na sa pagkain.
EN: sourness, acidity
This is the 'sumakit-ang-panga' level of sourness you get from unripe mangoes or sinigang that's been blessed by the sampaloc gods. It's the face you make when your crush ignores your message. That's kaasiman.
From `ka-` (denoting quality) + `asim` (sour) + `-an` (suffix indicating state or quality).
ROOT MEANING: sourness; acidity
Often used to describe the flavor profile of food, but can be used metaphorically for a sour disposition or attitude.
