FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging labis, malubha, o marahas; ang antas ng lakas o puwersa ng isang bagay.
EN: intensity, severity, fierceness
This is the level of drama in a teleserye finale, the heat of the sun at 2 PM in April, the spiciness of Bicol Express, or the traffic on EDSA on a payday Friday. It's the 'grabe' factor. When something is so extra, it's reached the level of 'pagkamatindi'.
From `pagka-` (quality of being) + `matindi` (intense, severe).
Used to describe the high degree or force of something, like emotions, weather, pain, or situations.
