FIL: Isang tao na ang propesyon o hilig ay ang pag-awit; isang mang-aawit.
EN: singer
In the Philippines, everyone is a 'singer' (or at least, they think they are, especially with a microphone and some alcohol). It's the English word we've fully adopted because 'mang-aawit' sounds a bit too formal for the karaoke bar. From Regine Velasquez to the guy belting out 'My Way' at 2 AM, they're all singers in our hearts.
From English 'singer'.
A direct loanword from English that has been fully integrated into Tagalog. It is used more commonly in casual conversation than its Tagalog equivalent 'mang-aawit'.
