FIL: Isang idyomatikong pahayag na nangangahulugang 'kapag mayroon kang libreng oras o hindi abala.'
EN: when you are free; when you have free time
The classic, non-committal way to make plans in the Philippines. It sounds polite, but it's the professional way of saying 'Let's schedule a meeting that might never happen.' The corporate version of 'See you when I see you.'
Literally 'if when you are loose/spacious,' combining 'kung kailan' (when) and 'maluwag' (loose, spacious, not tight/busy).
ROOT MEANING: spaciousness; relief
A polite and indirect way to ask about someone's availability, often used to defer scheduling to a later, unspecified time.
