FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging malabnaw; kakulangan sa lapot o pagiging puro ng isang likido.
EN: diluteness, wateriness
This is the sad state of your coffee when you put too much water, or the soup that tastes more like hot water than sinigang. It’s the lack of substance, the 'watered-down' feeling. 'Ay, ano ba 'tong juice, puro tubig! Grabe ang kalabnawan.'
From `labnaw` (dilute, thin liquid) with `ka-` and `-an` affixes to form an abstract noun.
The antonym is 'kalaputan' (thickness).
