FIL: Nasa bingit ng kamatayan; malapit nang malagutan ng hininga.
EN: is dying; is at the point of death
The ultimate 'malapit na mag-log out sa Earth.' It's that dramatic scene in a teleserye where the dying patriarch is trying to say who gets the mana. Figuratively, it's your WiFi connection during a storm, your phone at 1% battery, or your will to work on a Friday afternoon. It's on its last breath.
A very evocative and serious word. The 'hi-' reduplication indicates the present progressive tense. Often used for living beings, but can be used figuratively for inanimate objects or concepts that are failing.
