FIL: Sa direksyon o gawing kanluran; patungo sa kanluran.
EN: westward, towards the west
Similar to 'pakakanan', this is the formal way to say 'papuntang west'. You'd hear this in a documentary about migrating birds or an old sea captain's log. 'The ship sailed pakanluran.' For everyday use, we just say 'sa west' or point and say 'doon, sa paglubog ng araw'.
From 'pa-' (directional) + 'kanluran' (west).
ROOT MEANING: west
Primarily used in literary, formal, or geographical contexts. 'Kanluran' is the common noun; 'pakanluran' is the directional adverb.
🇵🇭 Naglakbay sila nang pakanluran hanggang sa marating ang dagat.
🇺🇸 They journeyed westward until they reached the sea.
🇵🇭 Ang bagyo ay kumikilos nang pakanluran sa bilis na 20 kph.
🇺🇸 The typhoon is moving westward at a speed of 20 kph.
