EN: strange, unusual, different, unique
This is your go-to word for anything that makes you go 'Huh?' or 'Wow!'. It's for that friend with a weird laugh, a new food combo like champorado with tuyo, or a plot twist in a teleserye you didn't see coming. It can be good-weird or bad-weird, but it's never boring.
From kaka- (a prefix indicating a special quality or degree) + iba (other, different).
Can have a neutral, positive (unique), or slightly negative (weird) connotation depending on the context.
