EN: occupied
The classic sign on the CR door you desperately need to use. It’s your status from 9 to 5 (or 9 to 9 if you're in BPO). It's also your crush's relationship status, as in 'Sorry, taken na.' It's the Filipino-Spanish way of saying 'I have no time for your chika right now, bes.'
From Spanish 'ocupado' (occupied, busy).
Often used interchangeably with the English 'occupied' or the Tagalog 'abala' or 'may ginagawa'. Common in signs for restrooms.

🇵🇭 Lagi siyang ukupado sa trabaho kaya wala siyang oras para sa pamilya.
