FIL: Ang mailagay sa loob ng isang kulungan o bilangguan; o ang hindi makalabas mula sa isang espasyo.
EN: to be jailed; to be confined
The literal meaning is "to be put in jail." But we also use it for less serious confinement. Na-lock sa banyo? *Nakulong* ka. Stuck in a meeting that never ends? *Nakulong* ka sa conference room. Pinagbawalan kang lumabas ng magulang mo? *Nakulong* ka sa bahay. It's the state of being trapped, whether by bars, a door, or your boss's endless presentation.
Refers to both literal imprisonment and metaphorical confinement.
🇵🇭 Kapag napatunayang nagkasala, maaari siyang makulong nang habambuhay.
🇺🇸 If proven guilty, he could be jailed for life.
