FIL: Ang pormal na tawag sa ninong ng anak ng isang tao o sa kapwa lalaking abay sa kasal. Ito ang orihinal na anyo ng salitang 'kumpare'.
EN: male co-sponsor; close male friend (formal)
This is the 'Tito' or 'old school' version of 'kumpare.' It sounds more formal, like something your Lolo would say. You use 'kumpadre' when you're feeling a bit classy or talking about the actual sacramental relationship. It has a slightly more serious, 'we are officially bonded by the church' vibe than the beer-buddy 'kumpare.'
From Spanish 'compadre' (co-father).
The more formal and older variant of 'kumpare'. Often used by older generations or in more formal contexts.
