Perpekto, tama, o walang anumang pagkakamali.
/ma-TWID/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang bagay na tuwid, walang liko, o sa isang tao o gawa na tama, makatarungan, at naaayon sa moralidad.
EN: righteous, just
This word has two vibes. Vibe 1: The physical 'straight' like a ruler or a freshly rebonded hair. Vibe 2: The moral 'straight' – being on the 'daang matuwid' (righteous path). It's about being upright, honest, and not cutting corners, whether you're drawing a line or living your life. The goal is to be as matwid as your lola's moral compass.
Contraction of ma- + tuwid (straight).
'Matwid' is often used in a more poetic or moral sense than its root 'tuwid', which is more commonly used for physical straightness.
🇵🇭 Ang pagsasabi ng totoo ay isang daang matwid.
🇺🇸 Telling the truth is a righteous path.
🇵🇭 Sikapin mong mamuhay nang matwid at marangal.
🇺🇸 Strive to live a just and honorable life.
