FIL: Isang estado o kalagayan na kabaligtaran, salungat, o baligtad mula sa karaniwan o inaasahan.
EN: inverse; reversed; opposite
This is when everything goes the opposite of how you planned. You expected a sunny day, but it rained. You thought you'd save money, but then the 11.11 sale happened. It's the universe playing a prank on you. "Ang nangyari ay tumbalik sa aming inaasahan." It's irony in one word. Like wanting to be productive but ending up binge-watching for 8 hours.
ROOT MEANING: return, act of coming back
Often implies an ironic or unexpected reversal. It's a more literary or formal word than "kabaligtaran."
