FIL: Ang estado ng hindi pagkakaroon o pagkaubos ng isang bagay; ang pagkawala ng isang tao o bagay na mahalaga.
EN: loss; lack; absence
That feeling when your WiFi suddenly dies mid-binge watch. Or when you open the fridge and the leftover pizza is gone. It's the empty space, the "wala na," the "naubos na." Can be as trivial as losing your pen or as deep as losing a loved one.
From `ka-` + `wala` + `-an`, forming a noun describing the state of 'nothingness' or 'absence'.
ROOT MEANING: none; nothing; absent
A very versatile word that often forms part of a compound noun to specify what is lacking (e.g., kawalan ng pag-asa).
🇵🇭 Ang kawalan ng disiplina sa sarili ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkabigo.
🇺🇸 The lack of self-discipline was the reason for his failure.
🇵🇭 Malungkot ang Pasko dahil sa kawalan ng isang miyembro ng pamilya.
🇺🇸 Christmas is sad because of the loss of a family member.
