EN: again, once more
The word that fuels both hope and frustration. 'Try mo uli' (Try again) is for encouragement. 'Ikaw na naman uli?' (You again?) is for when your ex shows up. It's the 'muli' for a more casual, everyday conversation. The backbone of every attempt to perfect the adobo recipe or pass an exam.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *uliq, meaning 'return, go back'.
Often used interchangeably with 'muli', but 'uli' is more common in conversational speech. It follows a word ending in a vowel, while 'muli' follows a consonant (e.g., 'Babalik uli,' 'Aalis muli'). A common variant is 'ulit'.
