FIL: Isang pang-abay na nagpapahiwatig ng katiyakan, kawalan ng pag-aalinlangan, o na ang isang bagay ay inaasahan at natural lamang.
EN: of course; naturally
The ultimate 'no-brainer' response. 'Libre mo ba?' '**Siyempre**!' 'Mahal mo pa ba ako?' '**Siyempre**... hindi.' It's the Filipino 'duh', 'obviously', and 'for sure' all rolled into one. Use it when the answer is as clear as your need for coffee on a Monday morning.
From Spanish 'siempre', meaning 'always'.
Extremely common in everyday conversation. Can be used to start a sentence or as a standalone answer. Often followed by 'naman' for emphasis ('Siyempre naman!').
