FIL: Isang bunton o tumpok ng anumang bagay; tumutukoy sa napakaraming dami.
EN: one pile
This is the word for "a whole freakin' lot," but specifically in a pile. Got a mountain of laundry? `Santambak` na labahin. Your boss dropped a ton of work on you before a long weekend? `Santambak` na trabaho. It's the visual representation of being overwhelmed. Picture a dump truck unloading—that's `santambak`.
From `isa` (one) + `-ng` + `tambak` (pile, heap).
Used to describe a large quantity of something, usually in a disorganized pile. Can be used for both physical objects and abstract concepts (like work or problems).
