FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging matanda o may edad; kahinugan sa karanasan o gulang.
EN: old age, maturity
That moment when you start saying 'Noong panahon namin...' or your back hurts from just sleeping. It's the state of being a 'Tito' or 'Tita' of Manila, not by relation, but by your life choices (e.g., preferring home over a party). It's not just about years, but about the wisdom (or body aches) that come with them.
Often used with prefixes like `pag-` (`pagtanda` - the process of aging) or `ka-` (`katandaan` - old age). The adjective form is 'matanda' (old). Homonym with 'tanda' (sign/mark).
