/ka-i-rug-I-rog/
FIL: Lubhang kaibig-ibig, kaakit-akit, o kalugud-lugod sa isang romantikong paraan.
EN: very lovable, endearing, charming
This is some next-level, harana-worthy "lovable." It's not just "cute" or "sweet," it's so endearing it makes you want to write a poem. You wouldn't use this for a baby, but for your "sinta," "irog," or "giliw." It's the kind of word you'd find in a Florante at Laura-era love letter. Super rare in 2026, but will definitely score you points for effort.
From `ka-` + reduplication of `irog` (beloved, dear). `Irog` itself is an old Tagalog word.
ROOT MEANING: beloved, darling, sweetheart
A very deep and archaic word for "lovable" or "endearing," almost exclusively used in literature or romantic poetry.
