FIL: Ang estado ng pagiging hindi sapat; ang kawalan ng isang bagay na kailangan o inaasahan.
EN: lack, shortage, deficiency, shortcoming
The reason your project is late ("kakulangan sa oras"), why you can't buy concert tickets ("kakulangan sa budget"), or that feeling when someone says "we need to talk" ("kakulangan sa communication"). It’s that gap between what you have and what you need. The story of our lives every "petsa de peligro".
From circumfix `ka- -an` + `kulang` (lacking, insufficient). The circumfix turns the adjective 'kulang' into a noun representing the state or quality of being insufficient.
A very versatile word used to describe a lack of anything, whether tangible (food, money) or intangible (time, love, knowledge).
