FIL: Isang katangian ng isang tao na mas pinipiling mag-isa o madalas na nag-iisa, dahil man sa kagustuhan o sitwasyon.
EN: solitary; prone to being alone
This is the official adjective for introverts and people who love their "me time". Yung tipo na mas pipiliin pa ang Netflix marathon mag-isa on a Friday night kaysa lumabas. Hindi necessarily malungkot, sadyang sanay lang sa sariling company.
`Mapag-` (prefix for tendency) + `isa` (one).
Can have a neutral to slightly melancholic connotation depending on context. It's different from `nag-iisa` (is alone), as `mapag-isa` describes a tendency or personality trait.
