Pang-uri
Tumutukoy sa isang tao na walang anumang ugnayang pampamilya o relasyon sa dugo sa isa pang tao.
/PUWE-ra/
FIL: Maliban sa; bukod sa.
EN: except, besides, aside from
This is the ultimate 'except for...' word. 'Okay lang ako, puwera na lang kung aalis ka.' (I'm okay, except if you leave). It's the disclaimer, the fine print in your feelings, the one condition that changes everything. It's the 'but wait, there's more' of exclusions.
From Spanish 'fuera' (outside).
Used to introduce an exception to a statement. Not to be confused with the interjection 'Puwera!'.
