EN: silent, speechless, mute
That awkward silence in the elevator with your boss. Or when your friend gets caught in a lie and they just stand there, unable to speak. 'Walang-imik' is the sound of 'seen-zone'. It's a silence that's louder than words, often because of shock, guilt, or 'tampo'.
From 'wala' (none) + '-ng' (linker) + 'imik' (utterance, a peep).
Describes a state of silence, often implying an emotional reason behind it (e.g., anger, sadness, surprise).
