FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging kulang o hindi sapat ng isang bagay na naganap na. Ito ang anyong pangnagdaan ng "kinakapos".
EN: ran short
The past tense version of "petsa de peligro." This is the moment you realize you shouldn't have ordered that extra large fries last week. You check your G-Cash, and it's a ghost town. "Kinapos ako sa budget, bes." It can also be used for non-money situations, like when you're telling a story and you run out of breath or when your crush's height just wasn't enough to reach your standards. Ouch.
From the root word `kapos`, meaning 'lacking' or 'insufficient'. The infix `-in-` denotes a completed action or state.
ROOT MEANING: lacking; insufficient; short
The past tense of `kinakapos`. Used for money, time, breath, height, etc.
