FIL: Isang pinaikling anyo ng salitang "kailan" na ginagamit sa pagtatanong tungkol sa panahon o petsa ng isang pangyayari.
EN: when
This is the "lazy" but totally acceptable way of asking "when?". It's the text message and quick chat version of 'kailan'. If your friend asks, "Kelan ka ba magbabayad ng utang mo?", they're not really in a formal mood.
Contraction of Tagalog "kailan".
ROOT MEANING: when
Primarily used in informal spoken and written communication. While widely understood, "kailan" is preferred in formal writing.
