FIL: Isang pormal na pagtitipon ng mga tao para sa isang partikular na layunin; isang koleksyon o kalipunan ng mga bagay.
EN: assembly, gathering, collection
Sounds a bit formal, like something you'd hear in a history book or a formal speech. It's the classy tito of "gathering." While you'd call a barkada hangout a "tipon" or "kita-kits," a `kaipunan` is more like a national assembly, a conference of professionals, or a collection of important documents. Think Katipunan, but for less revolutionary things.
From `ka-` + `ipon` (to gather, to save) + `-an`.
More formal and less common in everyday conversation than 'tipon' or 'pagtitipon'. Often used in historical or literary contexts.
