FIL: Ang kalagayan ng isang babae na may dinadalang sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan; pagiging buntis.
EN: is pregnant
The formal, almost poetic way to say someone is pregnant. It literally means "carrying a person." You use this when you want to sound respectful, like when talking to an elder, or when you're writing a formal announcement. It's the opposite of the blunt "Buntis."
From "dala" (to carry) + "-ng" (linker) + "tao" (person).
ROOT MEANING: to carry
This is a compound term. While it's a verb form, it functions as an adjective to describe a state. It is a more formal and respectful term than "buntis".
