FIL: Isang salitang nagpapahayag ng limitasyon; pinaikling anyo ng salitang 'lamang'.
EN: just; only
The national word of the Philippines. It's the magic word that minimizes everything. 'Kumain ka na?' 'Tubig lang.' 'Kamusta project?' 'Okay lang.' 'Mahal mo pa ba ako?' 'As a friend lang.' It's the ultimate tool for downplaying drama, effort, and feelings.
Contraction of 'lamang'.
Used ubiquitously in spoken and informal written language as a replacement for the more formal 'lamang'.
