FIL: Isang tao na madalas kasama, kausap, o nakakasalamuha sa mga sosyal na pagtitipon o sa pang-araw-araw na buhay.
EN: associate; someone one socializes with
This is your 'kain-tayo-sa-labas' buddy, your 'chismis' partner in the office pantry, or the people you make small talk with at a party. It's anyone you mingle with. If you're an introvert, just thinking about having too many 'kahalubilo' can drain your social battery. The verb form, 'makihalubilo', is what your mom tells you to do at family reunions instead of just staring at your phone.
From `ka-` + `halubilo` (mingling, socializing). The origin of `halubilo` itself is uncertain but is related to `halo` (mix).
ROOT MEANING: mingling, socializing
Often used in the plural form `mga kahalubilo`. The verb `makihalubilo` (to mingle, to socialize) is more commonly used than the noun form.
