EN: treacherous; perfidious; traitorous
This isn't just a simple liar. A 'sukab' is a next-level traitor. Think Brutus to Caesar, or that 'friend' who uses your Netflix account and then changes the password. It's the snake in the grass, the backstabber in your group project. It's a word so dramatic it belongs in a Florante at Laura-style teleserye.
A very strong and literary word for betrayal. Not commonly used in casual conversation, but understood.
