FIL: Isang parirala na nagbibigay-diin sa pagkakakilanlan ng isang tao; tumutukoy sa eksaktong taong pinag-uusapan at hindi sa iba.
EN: He himself / She herself; The very one
The ultimate "It's him/her!" phrase. You use this when you want to confirm with 100% certainty that you're talking about THE person. "Sino ang may utang sa'yo?" "Siya mismo!" (Points dramatically). It's the verbal equivalent of pointing a finger, adding an exclamation point, and maybe a spotlight for good measure. No room for doubt, it's that specific person.
Kumbinasyon ng panghalip na "siya" (he/she) at ang pang-abay na "mismo" (self, exactly).
Isang pariralang nagbibigay-diin. Ang "mismo" ay nagsisilbing pampatindi o intensifier.
