FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang bagay na tuwiran, hindi paligoy-ligoy, at may partikular na tinutukoy.
EN: Direct; specific
This is the opposite of 'parinig'. When you're being 'tiyakan', you're not beating around the bush. You name names, you give specifics. It's direct to the point, no fluff. Like a 'tiyakang sagutan' (direct confrontation) instead of just subtweeting your enemy. It’s the "We need to talk" that actually leads to a clear conversation.
Often used in grammar to refer to the definite or specific form of a noun or in communication to mean 'direct'. For example, 'panaguring tiyakan' (definite object).
🇵🇭 Mas gusto ko ang tiyakan na sagot, hindi 'yung paligoy-ligoy.
🇺🇸 I prefer a direct answer, not one that beats around the bush.
🇵🇭 Nagkaroon sila ng tiyakan na pag-uusap tungkol sa kanilang problema.
🇺🇸 They had a specific conversation about their problem.
