EN: squatting on one's heels
The classic "tambay sa kanto" pose. Or when you're waiting for your laundry to finish at the laundromat and all the seats are taken. You just find a corner and go 'nakatigda'. It's the Asian squat, but make it Pinoy.
Similar to 'nakatingkayad' but 'nakatigda' often implies a more stable, flat-footed squat.
