/ka-SU-yo/
FIL: Isang minamahal na tao; isang katipan, kasintahan, o mangingibig.
EN: sweetheart, lover, beloved
A more poetic, classic, Harana-era way of saying 'jowa' or 'significant other.' It's the person you write love letters to, not just send 'k' texts to. The term has a romantic, almost old-fashioned charm. Kung sa kanta, ito 'yung 'ikaw ang aking pangarap.'
From ka- (denoting companionship) + suyo (ingratiating oneself, courting). A 'kasuyo' is the person one 'suyo's or woos.
Sounds more formal and romantic than the common 'kasintahan.' Often found in literature, songs, and poetry.
