FIL: Ang pangalawa sa huli sa isang serye, partikular na ang pangalawa sa huling pantig ng isang salita.
EN: penult; second to the last
This is the 'sana all' of the finish line. Not the winner, but also not the last place. It's the second to the last episode of your favorite K-drama, the second to the last day of the work week (Thursday!), or the second to the last piece of lechon on the platter. It's that moment of anticipation right before the end. In linguistics, it's where the stress usually falls in Filipino words (e.g., ma-GAn-da), making it a low-key MVP of pronunciation.
Mula sa Latin na 'paenultima,' mula sa 'paene' (halos) + 'ultima' (huli).
Pangunahing ginagamit sa mga konteksto ng linggwistika at panitikan.
