This is the noun form of the whole lovey-dovey enterprise. Your 'sintahan' is your romantic relationship. It's the story of how you met, the 'ligaw' stage, the first date, the arguments, and the making up. It's the 'kayo na ba?' stage and everything that comes after. Basically, the plot of your personal rom-com.
From `sinta` (love) + `-han` (suffix indicating a reciprocal action or relationship).
ROOT MEANING: love, beloved, darling
Can refer to the period of courtship or the entire romantic relationship. 'Pag-iibigan' is a common synonym.
