FIL: Isang matining at malakas na sigaw, karaniwan dahil sa takot, tuwa, o sakit.
EN: shriek; high-pitched scream
The sound you make when you see a cockroach fly. Or when your favorite K-pop idol looks at the camera. Or when you see the bill after a fancy dinner. It's that sharp, ear-piercing scream that communicates pure, unadulterated emotion.
Possibly onomatopoeic.
Often used with verbs like 'tumili' (to shriek). The noun 'tilis' refers to the sound itself, which is sharper and higher-pitched than a 'sigaw' (shout).
