Pang-uri
Isang kalagayan o lugar na may kakulangan o kawalan ng suplay ng tubig.
/tal-SIK/
FIL: Ang maliit na piraso ng likido o solidong bagay na bigla at mabilis na tumilapon. Sa kolokyal na gamit, nangangahulugan din itong pagkatanggal sa trabaho o posisyon.
EN: Splash
Two meanings, both cause a reaction! 1) The tiny droplets of oil that attack you when you're frying hotdogs. That's **talsik**. 2) 'Yung bigla kang sinabihan ng HR, "We've decided to let you go." Ayun, **talsik** ka sa trabaho. One is a physical splash, the other is a career splash... out the door.
The meaning is usually clear from the context. 'Talsik ng mantika' (oil splash) vs 'Talsik sa trabaho' (fired from work).
