EN: opponent, adversary (in an argument)
Your debate partner, but on the other team. The person you argue with on Facebook comments about politics. The one who always says 'Actually...' in a meeting. Not necessarily an enemy (kaaway), just someone on the other side of the issue.
From 'ka-' (denoting a partner or companion) + 'talo' (to lose, defeat), implying someone you are in a contest of words with, aiming to defeat them in argument.
Specifically refers to an opponent in a debate or argument, not necessarily in a physical fight ('kalaban') or a game ('katunggali').
