FIL: Tumutukoy sa kaaya-ayang pagkakabaluktot o arko, lalo na sa mga pilikmata, kilay, o baywang.
EN: gracefully curved, shapely
This is that perfect, gentle curve that makes you go "wow." The curve of long eyelashes that don't need mascara, the arch of a well-shaped kilay (on fleek!), or the graceful sway of a dancer's hips. It's the "S" curve of beauty, a subtle flex that speaks volumes.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *lantik 'to bend, spring back'.
Most commonly used to describe eyelashes ('pilikmata'). When used as a noun, it refers to the curve itself.
🇵🇭 Maraming humahanga sa lantik ng kanyang mga pilikmata.
🇺🇸 Many admire the curve of her eyelashes.
🇵🇭 Ang lantik ng kanyang baywang ay kapansin-pansin habang siya'y sumasayaw.
🇺🇸 The shapely arch of her waist is noticeable while she dances.
