EN: sorrowful; melancholic
This is the more poetic, dramatic cousin of 'malungkot'. It's not just sad; it's the kind of sadness you feel while staring out the window on a rainy day, listening to a sad OPM song, and thinking about your life choices. It's the official emotion of #hugot. It's a deep, quiet sadness.
From Tagalog `lumbay` (sorrow, melancholy).
ROOT MEANING: sorrow
More literary or formal than `malungkot`.
