FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang prutas na hindi pa lubos na hinog ngunit hindi na rin masasabing hilaw; nasa pagitan ng pagiging hilaw at hinog.
EN: semi-ripe, half-ripe
That mango that's not totally sweet yet but also not super sour. Perfect to eat with bagoong as a side dish. It's like your feelings for them—not yet a sure 'yes' but no longer a 'no'. It's complicated, but delicious. The 'it's complicated' stage of a fruit's love life.
From the prefix 'ma-' (denoting a quality) and 'nibalang', a term describing a state of ripeness.
ROOT MEANING: each, every
