/ma-TI-los/
FIL: Naglalarawan sa isang bagay na may matulis at makitid na dulo, tulad ng karayom, dulo ng lapis, o palaso.
EN: pointed, sharp (at the tip)
Think of a perfectly sharpened pencil, ready to stab the paper (or your enemy, charot!). Or the tip of a barbecue stick before you put the isaw on it. If it's pointy and sharp at the end, it's matilos. Perfect for writing, sewing, or... chismis. "Ang tilos ng dila mo!" (Your tongue is so sharp!)
From `ma-` (adjective-forming prefix) + `tilos` (point, tip).
ROOT MEANING: pointed
Distinct from `matalim`, which refers to the sharpness of a blade's edge. `Matilos` is specifically about the sharpness of a point.
