EN: competition; rivalry
The reason why your tita asks 'Kailan ka ikakasal?' at family reunions—she's competing with your other tita whose kid just got married. It's Jollibee vs. McDo. It's what happens when there's only one parking spot left at the mall. It's the Hunger Games, but with more chismis.
From Spanish 'competencia'.
While it can also mean 'competence' or 'skill', the word 'kumpetisyon' is more specific for 'competition' or 'contest'. 'Kompetensiya' often implies a broader sense of rivalry.
