/pag-ka-ka-kat-WA/
FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging kakatwa, di-pangkaraniwan, o kakaiba sa isang paraan na nakakagulat o nakakatawa.
EN: strangeness; oddity; peculiarity
This is the quality of being "weird" or "quirky." It's your friend's `pagka-kakatwa` of collecting bottle caps. It's the strange plot twist in a movie that makes you go, "Huh?" It’s that one dish on the menu that seems out of place, like sinigang-flavored ice cream. It's the essence of things that make you tilt your head and say, "Ang weird!"
From `pagka-` (nominalizer for qualities) + `kakatwa` (strange, odd).
Often used to describe a characteristic or a state of being strange. The hyphen is sometimes used for clarity but `pagkakakatwa` is also common.
