FIL: Labis ang pagkakaroon ng taba sa katawan; sobra sa timbang.
EN: Very fat, extremely plump
How you feel after the Noche Buena feast and a week of eating Christmas leftovers. It's that "I need to go on a diet starting tomorrow" feeling. Can also be used to describe a juicy, thick-cut steak. Context is key, but be careful using it for people—it's not always a compliment!
From the intensifier prefix "napaka-" and the root word "taba" (fat).
ROOT MEANING: fat; plump; stout
Can be considered rude when used to describe a person, similar to English. Often used more neutrally for animals or objects.
