FIL: May malalim at masusing pag-unawa; may kakayahang makita o maunawaan ang mga bagay na hindi kaagad halata sa iba.
EN: astute; perceptive
This is 'matalino' on a whole other level. This isn't just knowing the answer; it's understanding the 'why' behind the question. The person who can read between the lines of your 'K lang' text message. A 'matalisik' mind sees the patterns, the hidden motives, the whole 4D chess game of life. Think L Lawliet from Death Note, but maybe with better posture.
A deep and formal word. Not used in casual conversation. It implies a higher level of intellectual and philosophical insight than 'matalino'.
