FIL: Nasa posisyong baligtad, kung saan ang itaas na bahagi ay nasa ibaba at ang ibabang bahagi ay nasa itaas.
EN: upside down, inverted
When your life feels chaotic and everything is going wrong, your world is 'tuwas'. It’s also used for acrobats, or that one friend who can do a headstand. In a figurative sense, it's when values are all mixed up, like when the bad guy wins.
Often used with 'naka-' to form 'nakatuwas' (in an upside-down position).
