EN: silence, reticence
This is that heavy, awkward silence after someone drops a major 'chismis' bomb in the group chat. It's the 'seen-zone' in noun form. Or the vibe in the office when the boss is in a bad mood. The sound of nothing, but it speaks volumes.
Refers to the state of not speaking, often implying a deliberate choice or a heavy atmosphere, as opposed to 'katahimikan' which can be a more neutral or peaceful silence.
