FIL: Isang salitang balbal na tumutukoy sa isang tao na may kabagalan sa pag-iisip, tanga, o hangal.
EN: stupid; silly; dumb
The more 'gentle' way of calling someone 'tanga'. It's what your friends call you when you trip on a flat surface or ask an obvious question. It has a hint of affection, like 'bless your heart'. If 'bobo' is a punch, 'shunga' is a playful slap.
Origin uncertain, likely from gayspeak or street slang.
A very common, informal term. While less harsh than 'tanga' or 'bobo', it can still be offensive depending on the tone and context.
🇵🇭 Ang shunga ko! Naiwan ko ang wallet ko sa bahay.
🇺🇸 I'm so silly! I left my wallet at home.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang maging shunga, halata namang niloloko ka lang niya.
🇺🇸 Don't be stupid, it's obvious he's just fooling you.
