/MUN-tik/
FIL: Isang kalagayan kung saan ang isang pangyayari ay malapit nang maganap ngunit hindi natuloy.
EN: almost, nearly
This is the official word for every "malapit na pero hindi pa" moment in your life. It's the story of your life when you're 5 minutes late for the bus, when you almost hit your monthly sales quota but missed it by one, or when you thought you were going to get the last piece of lechon but your tito beat you to it. "Muntik na" is the universe telling you, "Nice try, besh."
Almost always used with 'na' as in 'muntik na'. It can be used for both positive and negative near-misses.
