EN: a huge amount, a ton of
The official measurement for your workload on a Monday morning, the amount of chismis your tita has, or the number of unread messages in your family's Viber group. It’s not a precise number; it's a feeling. The feeling of "OMG, ang dami!"
From `sang-` (one) + `ka-` + `terba` (a large, unspecific amount). The origin of 'terba' itself is debated but is used colloquially.
Informal and colloquial. Used to express a very large, often overwhelming, quantity.
