FIL: Isang idyomatikong pahayag na tumutukoy sa kawalan ng hiya o katapangan ng isang tao na gumawa ng isang bagay na hindi kaaya-aya o katanggap-tanggap sa lipunan.
EN: shamelessness, nerve, audacity
That person who cuts in line, borrows money and never pays it back, and still has the nerve to ask for another favor. Their face is so thick, hiya can't penetrate it. It's the superpower of people who operate on a 'walang pakialam' basis. The official motto is 'Basta ako, okay.'
Idiomatic expression: 'kapal' (thickness) + 'ng' (of) + 'mukha' (face). Literally 'thickness of face'.
A very common, informal, and highly critical expression. It is a strong insult. The adjective form is 'makapal ang mukha'.
🇵🇭 May kapal ng mukha siyang humingi ulit ng pabor matapos kang hindi bayaran.
