FIL: Naglalaman o tinimplahan ng asin; may alat.
EN: salty; has salt
Literally, it has salt. Like your fries, your soup, or that bag of chips you promised you'd only have one of. Figuratively, it's that friend who's always throwing shade or making bitter comments. 'Bakit ang alat mo ngayon?' ('Why are you so salty today?').
From 'may' (has/have) + 'asin' (salt).
ROOT MEANING: salt
Can be used literally for food or figuratively to describe a person's bitter or resentful attitude (though 'maalat' is more common for the latter).
