EN: known, understood, aware
The formal, almost poetic way of saying 'gets' or 'alam na.' It's when the lightbulb finally turns on in your head. When your friend finally understands the complex plot of that K-drama, you can say, 'Ayan, **talastas** mo na rin sa wakas!' It's a level of understanding that's deep and clear.
Also appears as 'tarastas'. The origin is unclear, but it is a native Austronesian root.
Often used in the verb form 'matalastas' or 'matalastasan' (to understand). It's a more formal or literary word.
