EN: beloved
Your 'jowa', 'bebe', 'mahal', or 'babe' in classic harana mode. It's the word you use when you want to sound poetic and romantic, like you're in a black and white Filipino movie. Today, you'd probably just send a "mahal kita" text with a heart emoji, but 'sinisinta' is for when you're feeling extra.
From 'sinta' (love, affection), with the infix '-in-' which denotes the object of the action. Literally, 'the one being loved'.
ROOT MEANING: love, beloved, darling
Primarily used in literary, poetic, or very formal contexts. It's the object form of the verb 'suminta' (to love).
