FIL: Isang pang-abay na nagpapahiwatig ng pagkauna sa oras o pagkakasunud-sunod, o pansamantalang kalagayan.
EN: first, for a while, yet
"Muna" is the ultimate Filipino word for procrastination and prioritization. "Teka, meryenda muna." (Wait, snack first.) "Chill muna tayo." (Let's chill for a while.) It's the polite way of saying "I'll get to it... eventually." It's the pause before the action, the coffee break before the deadline grind.
A very common particle used to sequence actions or to indicate a temporary state. Often placed after the verb or the first word of the predicate.
