FIL: Isang salitang ginagamit bilang panimula upang ipahiwatig ang pagbabalewala sa naunang sinabi o bilang paglalagom na wala nang magagawa; sa kabuuan.
EN: anyway; in the end; besides
"Total, wala rin namang nangyari." This is the classic Pinoy sigh of resignation. It's what you say when you've listed all the reasons something should have worked out, but in the end, it just didn't. It's the verbal equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and moving on. It's the intro to a sentence that means 'let's just forget it and move on'.
Mula sa Ingles na 'total', na nagbago ang gamit sa kolokyal na Filipino.
Bukod sa literal na kahulugan nito bilang 'kabuuan' (e.g., 'total na bayarin'), mas madalas itong gamitin sa usapan bilang pang-abay na katumbas ng 'anyway' o 'after all'.
🇵🇭 Total, hindi naman siya seryoso, kaya huwag mo nang iyakan.
🇺🇸 Anyway, he wasn't serious, so don't cry over him anymore.
🇵🇭 Ayaw niya akong tulungan, total kaya ko naman mag-isa.
🇺🇸 He doesn't want to help me, and besides, I can do it alone.
