This is your friend's answer when you ask "Tuloy ba tayo?" and they reply, "Tiyak!" It's the opposite of "drawing" or "asa pa". In a world of uncertainty, 'tiyak' is that 100% confirmed plan, that feeling when you know you aced an exam, or the certainty that traffic will be bad at 5 PM on a Friday.
Can function as an adjective (e.g., 'isang tiyak na bagay' - a sure thing) or an adverb (e.g., 'Tiyak na darating siya' - He will surely come).
