EN: okay
The most versatile word in the Filipino vocabulary. It can mean 'okay, sure' (Sige, sama ako), 'go ahead, I dare you' (Sige, subukan mo), 'come on!' (Sige na!), or 'this is it, let's do this' (Sige, laban!). It's the ultimate Swiss Army knife of Filipino expressions, packed with nuance depending on your tone.
From Spanish 'sigue' (it follows, go on).
Its meaning is heavily dependent on context and intonation. Can function as an interjection, adverb, or verb.
