FIL: Isang hindi inaasahang pangyayari na nagdudulot ng kapahamakan, kalungkutan, o pagkabigo; masamang kapalaran.
EN: misfortune, bad luck
This is when life gives you lemons, and you have no sugar, no water, and you're allergic to citrus. It's the universe telling you, 'Not today, bes.' Like when you finally saved up for a new phone, then the aircon breaks down. That's kasawiang-palad.
A compound word from kasawian (misfortune) and palad (palm, fate). Literally 'misfortune of fate.'
ROOT MEANING: unfortunate, ill-fated, unsuccessful in love
A formal and somewhat dramatic term for bad luck. Often seen in literature, news reports about accidents, or telenovelas.
