FIL: Isang silid o lugar na may inidoro at iba pang kagamitan para sa pagdumi at pag-ihi ng tao.
EN: toilet; restroom; lavatory
The most important room in the house, office, or mall. Also known as the CR (Comfort Room). It's your throne room, your thinking spot, the place you go to escape your boss for 5 minutes. 'Excuse me, nasaan po ang palikuran?' is a life-saving phrase.
From 'pa-' + 'likod' (back) + '-an' (locative suffix). Literally, 'the place at the back,' as toilets were historically located at the back of the house.
'Banyo' (from Spanish baño) and 'CR' are much more common in everyday speech. 'Palikuran' is more formal or literary, but universally understood.
🇵🇭 Panatilihing malinis ang palikuran pagkatapos gamitin.
🇺🇸 Keep the restroom clean after using it.
🇵🇭 May mahabang pila sa palikuran ng mga babae.
🇺🇸 There is a long queue at the women's lavatory.
