FIL: Ang kalagayan ng kawalan ng anumang tunog o ingay; katahimikan.
EN: silence
The sound of your wallet after payday weekend. It’s that awkward quiet in the elevator with your boss, or the beautiful peace you get when the kids are finally asleep. It's the formal, slightly more dramatic cousin of 'tahimik'. "Silensyo!" is what an angry librarian or a movie director would shout.
From Spanish 'silencio' (silence).
Often used as a command ('Silensyo!') to demand quiet. More formal than 'tahimik'.
🇵🇭 Sumigaw ang direktor ng, 'Silensyo sa set!'
🇺🇸 The director shouted, 'Silence on the set!'
🇵🇭 Naghari ang silensyo sa buong kwarto matapos niyang magsalita.
