EN: about, regarding, concerning
The ultimate chismis starter. Whenever you hear "Uy, alam mo ba yung tungkol kay...", you know the tea is about to be spilled. It's the word that sets the topic, whether it's for a serious thesis ("Tungkol sa Epekto ng Social Media") or just plain office gossip.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tukul, meaning 'to be about'.
Almost always followed by 'sa' for things/places (tungkol sa) or 'kay' for people's names (tungkol kay).
