FIL: Medyo malaki o may sapat na kalakihan; hindi gaanong maliit ngunit hindi rin sukdulan ang laki.
EN: Sizable, rather big, fairly large
It's not *malaki* malaki, just *malaki-laki*. It's 'sizable.' Like the discount you get sa 11.11 sale – it's something, but not enough to zero out your cart. It's the 'pwede na' size of your bonus.
Derived from `malaki` through partial reduplication (`laki` -> `laki-laki`) to indicate a moderate or considerable degree.
Used to express a size that is significant but not extreme. It sits between 'katamtaman' (medium) and 'malaki' (big).
🇵🇭 Malaki-laki rin ang natipid ko dahil sa promo code.
