EN: concave, bowl-shaped
Think of a satellite dish, a soup bowl, or that dent on your car door after a close encounter with a parking post. It's a surface that curves inward. If you pour water on it, the water will pool in the middle. It's the opposite of a "beer belly" (which is convex, or `umbok`).
