/ka-hu-li-LIP/
FIL: Isang katangian na hindi kayang maunawaan ng isip, hindi masukat, o hindi maabot ng pang-unawa; malalim at mahiwaga.
EN: incomprehensible, unfathomable
This is the word you use when trying to understand your ex's behavior, the ending of a Christopher Nolan film, or why your data plan runs out so fast. It's beyond comprehension. 'Ang pag-ibig ng isang ina ay **kahulilip**.' It's a high-level, poetic word you pull out to sound really, really deep. Not for everyday chismis.
From ka- + hulilip. The root 'hulilip' itself is an archaic word related to grasping or comprehending.
A deep or literary Tagalog word. Rarely used in casual conversation, but common in poetry, songs, and formal or religious writing.
