/ka-ha-li-HA-li-na/
FIL: Naglalarawan sa isang tao o bagay na may pambihirang ganda, pang-akit, o katangian na nakakabighani at mahirap iwasan o kalimutan.
EN: charming, captivating, enchanting
This is that crush who makes you forget your own name. It's the vibe of a perfect beach sunset or the plot of a K-drama that keeps you up until 3 AM. It’s the opposite of 'seen-zoned'—it demands your full attention. If something is kahali-halina, it's not just pretty; it has that magnetic pull that makes you go 'Sana all.'
From `ka-` + reduplication of `halina` (charm, allure).
A very poetic and positive word, often used in literature, songs, and to give a heartfelt compliment.
