FIL: Isang bagay, tao, o sitwasyon na nagdudulot ng inis, abala, o pagka-irita.
EN: Annoyance; bother; disturbance
'Yung feeling na ang sarap na ng tulog mo tapos may nag-videoke sa kapitbahay ng 3 AM. O 'yung ka-officemate mong tanong nang tanong kahit kaya naman i-Google. Anything that disturbs your peace and makes you say, "Hassle naman nito!" Pasensya na sa molestya, pero 'yan ang totoo.
From Spanish "molestia" (annoyance, bother).
Important: This word means "annoyance" or "bother" and is a false friend to the English word "molest," which has a much more severe meaning of abuse. The Filipino term does not carry any sexual connotation.
🇵🇭 Pasensya na sa molestya, pero maaari ko bang hiramin ang ballpen mo?
🇺🇸 Sorry for the bother, but may I borrow your pen?
🇵🇭 Malaking molestya ang biglaang pagkawala ng kuryente.
🇺🇸 The sudden power outage is a big annoyance.
