EN: Slipperiness; slip of the tongue
This has two flavors. The literal one is the 'slipperiness' of a floor after your tita mops it with floor wax—a hazard zone. The figurative one is a 'slip of the tongue,' like accidentally calling your new partner by your ex's name. Both can cause a major fall. Oops.
Mula sa `ka-` + `dulas` (slip) + `-an`.
The context, especially the phrase 'kadulasan ng dila', determines whether it's literal (physical slipperiness) or figurative (a mistake).
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka sa kadulasan ng sahig na bagong wax.
🇺🇸 Be careful of the slipperiness of the newly waxed floor.
🇵🇭 Isang kadulasan ng dila lamang ang kanyang sinabi, patawarin mo na.
🇺🇸 It was just a slip of the tongue, please forgive him.
