/RE-pa/
FIL: Isang balbal na salita na nabuo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabaliktad ng mga pantig ng salitang "pare," na tumutukoy sa isang kaibigang lalaki.
EN: pal, buddy, dude
The OG "what's up bro?" but make it Pinoy. It's 'pare' scrambled ('er-ap'), but smoother and became 'repa'. Your go-to word for the guy you share chicharon and life problems with. The foundation of Pinoy bromance.
Syllabic inversion of the word 'pare' (pa-re -> re-pa).
ROOT MEANING: dude, bro, male friend
Highly informal and traditionally used among male friends, but now widely used by everyone regardless of gender. A staple of colloquial Filipino.
🇵🇭 Uy, repa, kamusta na? Tagal nating 'di nagkita!
🇺🇸 Hey, pal, how are you? It's been a while since we saw each other!
🇵🇭 Salamat sa tulong, repa. Utang ko 'to sa'yo.
🇺🇸 Thanks for the help, dude. I owe you one.
