FIL: Isang uri ng metal na may kulay puting-pilak, mahalaga, at ginagamit sa paggawa ng alahas, barya, at kubyertos.
EN: silver
The fancy cousin of stainless steel. It's the metal for your lola's antique kubyertos that only come out during Noche Buena. In street slang, it can also mean money, as in the famous line 'Plata o Plomo' (silver or lead) - your money or your life.
From Spanish 'plata' (silver, money).
While 'pilak' is the more common native term for silver, 'plata' is often used in contexts of jewelry, antiques, or wealth.
