EN: nerves; nervousness; anxiety
This is your body's built-in alarm system going haywire before a job interview, a thesis defense, or confessing to your crush. "Inaatake ako ng nerbiyos!" is the battle cry. It’s that shaky feeling, the cold sweat, the sudden urge to go to the CR for the fifth time. It can also refer to the literal nerves in your body, but 99% of the time, it’s about feeling 'kaba'. This is the standard spelling.
From Spanish 'nervios' ('nerves').
Often used interchangeably with 'kaba'. This spelling ('nerbiyos') is considered more formal or standard than the colloquial 'nerbyos'.
