EN: breech birth (feet or buttocks first)
This is the ultimate 'doing things the hard way' from day one. When a baby decides to come out feet-first, that's 'suhi'. It's a term every lola knows and often uses to explain why someone is particularly stubborn or 'pasaway'—'Suhi kasi 'yan pinanganak!' It's a built-in origin story for anyone who defies convention.
Also used figuratively to describe someone who is contrary, rebellious, or goes against the grain. This figurative use is very common.
🇵🇭 Mahirap ang naging panganganak ng nanay niya dahil suhi ang bata.
🇺🇸 Her mother had a difficult childbirth because the baby was in a breech position.
🇵🇭 Palibhasa'y suhi, laging kontra sa lahat ng sinasabi ko!
🇺🇸 Because he's a contrarian (lit. born breech), he always objects to everything I say!
