FIL: Isang tao na nakikilala ngunit hindi gaanong malapit o matalik na kaibigan.
EN: acquaintance
This is your "Facebook friend" in real life. You know their name, you might nod at them in the mall, but you don't know their dog's name or their deepest, darkest secrets. They're the people you add on LinkedIn but wouldn't necessarily invite to your birthday party. Not a stranger, but not a BFF either. The in-between zone of social connections.
From `ka-` + `kilala` (to know, known). The `ka-` prefix here indicates a shared relationship or a fellow person who is known.
Differentiated from 'kaibigan' (friend), which implies a closer relationship.

🇵🇭 Siya ay kakilala ko lang, hindi kami matalik na magkaibigan.
🇺🇸 She is just an acquaintance of mine, we are not close friends.
