EN: romantic excitement, butterflies in the stomach
The Philippines' greatest emotional export, now officially in the Oxford English Dictionary. It's that giddy, butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling you get when your crush looks at you, when your favorite loveteam has a sweet moment on screen, or when you get a "Good morning" text from your BPO-night-shift-special-someone. It’s a full-body blush.
Can be used as a noun ("May kilig factor sila.") or an adjective ("Kilig ako!").
