EN: business slump, downturn, slow period
The official term for 'walang benta.' It's that dreaded period for any business owner, from the suki tindera in the palengke to the big mall tenant, when customers are few and sales are low. It’s the opposite of 'kasagsagan' (peak season). You know it's katumalan when the staff are just scrolling on their phones and you can hear crickets in the store.
From 'ka-' + 'tumal' (slump) + '-an' (suffix denoting state or period).
Primarily used in the context of business, sales, or commerce.
