EN: Ally, close friend, confidant
This sounds like something your lolo would call his drinking buddy from the old days. It's like 'tropa' or 'barkada' but with a vintage, almost noble, feel. Think of it as your OG ally, your ride-or-die before those terms even existed.
From Malay 'rakan' meaning 'friend' or 'partner'.
More common in historical or literary contexts. Not typically used in modern everyday conversation.
