FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging manipis; kawalan ng kapal.
EN: thinness, slenderness
The state of being 'manipis'. It's the 'nipis' of your wallet before payday, the 'nipis' of the lumpia wrapper that needs expert handling, or the 'nipis' of your patience when you're stuck in EDSA traffic. As a noun, you'd describe its quality as 'nipis'. 'Ang nipis ng hiwa mo ng keso!' (Your slice of cheese is so thin!).
'Nipis' is the root word and can act as a noun for 'thinness' or an adjective for 'thin'. The more common adjective form is 'manipis'.
