EN: shrillness; high pitch
The sound that makes you wince. Think of nails on a chalkboard, a badly-sung videoke high note, or the shriek of your tita when she sees a celebrity. It's the opposite of a deep, relaxing bass. When someone's voice is 'matinis', they might be excited, scared, or just really, really annoying.
As a noun, it's 'ang tinis' (the shrillness). The adjective form is 'matinis' (shrill, high-pitched).
