EN: a game of timing; an instance requiring perfect timing
Crossing a Manila street during rush hour is a masterclass in 'patiyempuhan'. So is trying to get the last piece of lechon kawali at a party. It's all about timing. One second too early or too late and you miss your chance. It’s the art of the perfect timing, like confessing your feelings on Valentine's Day or logging into the Piso Fare website the moment the sale starts.
From Spanish 'tiempo' (time).
The suffix '-han' turns 'tiyempo' (timing) into a context or event centered around timing. A more common spelling is 'tyempuhan'.
