EN: the south, southern region
For Metro Manila folks, this is the land of Alabang, Parañaque, and Las Piñas—the 'South'. It’s where life is supposedly more chill, the traffic is... well, still traffic, and where people say 'taga-South ka ba?' as if it’s a different country. Basically, it’s the southern part of any given area.
From ka- + timog (south) + -an, denoting a region or place.
ROOT MEANING: south
Refers to the direction or the region of the south. Often capitalized as 'Katimugan' when referring to a specific southern region (e.g., Katimugang Luzon).
