EN: flame
It's the flame, the fire, the blaze. It can be the literal flame on a candle or a bonfire. But more importantly, it's used to describe a certain kind of Filipino enthusiasm that starts strong but fades quickly. See 'ningas-kugon'. It's that fire in your belly, the passion... that might or might not last.
Often used in compound words like 'ningas-kugon' to describe a specific type of fleeting enthusiasm.
