FIL: Hindi pa lubos na luto; nasa estado sa pagitan ng pagiging hilaw at luto.
EN: half-cooked; undercooked
This is the state of your fried chicken when you're too hungry to wait—crispy on the outside, but still clucking on the inside. It's that medium-rare steak that's a bit too 'rare'. Or the rice that's still crunchy. When someone gives you unsolicited advice, you can say their opinion is taghilaw—not fully baked.
From "tag-" (prefix indicating state/quality) + "hilaw" (raw/unripe).
ROOT MEANING: unripe, raw, uncooked
Can also be used metaphorically for something that is half-baked or not well-thought-out.
