/ki-BO/
FIL: Isang kilos, galaw, o anumang uri ng reaksyon, pasalita man o hindi. Madalas itong ginagamit sa anyong negatibo ('walang-kibo') na nangangahulugang hindi kumikilos o hindi nagsasalita.
EN: movement; action; remark
'Kibo' is like your 'status' or 'activity.' When someone is 'walang kibo,' they're completely still and silent. It’s that friend who suddenly goes quiet in the group chat after a controversial topic is brought up. Or you, pretending to be asleep when your mom comes into the room to ask you to do chores. No movement, no sound, no 'kibo'. It's the art of being unresponsive.
Most frequently used in the negative form 'walang-kibo' or 'di-kumikibo' to mean motionless, silent, or unresponsive.
🇵🇭 Nakatayo lang siya roon, walang-kibo.

🇵🇭 Nang tanungin siya tungkol sa isyu, ni walang kibo siyang sinabi.
