FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging mabilog, malaman, o nakaumbok. Tumutukoy sa umbok o pagiging mataba sa isang partikular na bahagi.
EN: plump; convex; bulging
That glorious curve. The opposite of flat. It's the 'tambok' of a baby's cheeks, the satisfying bulge of a ripe mango, or, let's be real, the 'love handles' you gained from too much unli-rice. It’s not just ‘fat’; it’s a pleasing, rounded protrusion. It's the 'thicc' of the natural world.
Can be used for people, objects, and even landforms. Generally has a positive or neutral connotation, unlike 'taba' (fat) which can be negative. Can also function as a noun for 'plumpness' or 'bulge'.
🇵🇭 Ang sarap pisilin ng tambok niyang pisngi.
