FIL: Isang kataga o ekspresyon na nagpapahiwatig ng pagkagulat, pagtataka, o kawalan ng paniniwala, katumbas ng 'pala' o 'naman pala'.
EN: Oh!
That short, sharp sound you make when you realize something you didn't know before. It's the Pinoy version of 'Oh, really?', 'Is that so?', or 'Huh!'. Example: 'Akala ko single pa siya.' 'May asawa na 'yan.' 'La!' It's a filler word that packs a punch of surprise.
Shortening of 'pala'.
Primarily used in spoken, informal conversation. Its meaning is heavily dependent on tone and is often used to express mild surprise or sudden realization.
🇵🇭 La! Ikaw pala 'yan! Akala ko kung sino.
🇺🇸 Oh! So it was you! I thought it was someone else.
🇵🇭 A: 'Umuwi na si Mark.' B: 'La! Ang aga naman.'
🇺🇸 A: 'Mark already went home.' B: 'Oh! That's so early.'
