/KI-yas/
FIL: Ang kabuuang ayos, tindig, o paraan ng paglakad ng isang tao na nagpapakita ng kanyang katangian o damdamin.
EN: posture; bearing; gait
"Kiyas" is your overall vibe in motion. It’s your swag, your tindig, your "aura" when you walk into a room. May "kiyas-militar" (military bearing), "kiyas-mayaman" (looks rich), or "kiyas-pagod" (looks tired from a 12-hour shift). It’s how you carry yourself. Your lola might say, "Ayusin mo ang kiyas mo!" which means "Stop slouching and walk like you have a purpose!"
Often used to describe a person's physical presence and how it reflects their personality or status.
