FIL: Isang malawak at tuloy-tuloy na masa ng lupa, na karaniwang itinuturing na isa sa mga pangunahing dibisyon ng mundo (e.g., Asya, Europa). Maaari ring tumukoy sa isang napakalayo o liblib na lugar.
EN: Continent; remote place
Literally, a continent. But when your tita says, "Saan lupalop ka na naman nanggaling?", she's not asking if you've been to Antarctica. She's asking what god-forsaken, far-flung corner of the city you've been to that made you come home so late. It's a dramatic word for any place that feels a million miles away.
Used to mean "continent" in a geographical context, but more commonly used hyperbolically to mean a very distant, remote, or unfamiliar place.
🇵🇭 Ang Asya ang pinakamalaking lupalop sa mundo.
🇺🇸 Asia is the largest continent in the world.
🇵🇭 Anong lupalop ng Maynila 'yan at sobrang traffic papunta diyan?
🇺🇸 What remote part of Manila is that for the traffic to be so bad going there?
