FIL: Ang kilos ng pagkakaroon ng malaking kita o tubo mula sa isang negosyo o transaksyon; ang pagdagdag ng timbang o pagiging mataba. Ito ay nasa panahunang pangnagdaan.
EN: profited; became fat
This word has two moods: 'Yay, money!' or 'Oh no, weight gain!' You can 'tumiba' (profited) from a good investment in stocks or crypto. You can also 'tumiba' (got fat) after a month-long series of holiday parties and samgyupsal nights. Both involve getting 'thicc'—either your wallet or your waistline.
Past tense verb. The root 'tiba' means profit. The usage for 'got fat' is a common colloquialism, a playful corruption of 'tumaba' (from root 'taba'). Context determines the meaning.
