FIL: Ganap o buo ang bilang o sukat, karaniwang ginagamit para sa panahon o edad.
EN: full, whole, complete (of a time period)
The word you use when you want to add emphasis to a duration. "Isang taong **singkad**" isn't just one year, it's a *whole solid year*. It's like telling your boss you've rendered "8 hours **singkad**," meaning you didn't take a 3-hour lunch break. It's the opposite of "Filipino time."
Madalas itong kasunod ng isang yunit ng panahon, gaya ng 'taon', 'buwan', o 'araw'.
