FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang tao na walang anumang ugnayang pampamilya o relasyon sa dugo sa isa pang tao.
EN: unrelated (by blood); not related
That person you call 'tita' or 'tito' out of respect, but isn't actually your aunt or uncle. In the Philippines, everyone is family until proven otherwise, so when you have to specify someone is **walang-kaanu-ano**, it means they are *really* not a relative, not even a fifth-cousin-twice-removed.
Mula sa "walang" (without) at "kaanu-ano," na tumutukoy sa pagkakamag-anak.
Used specifically to clarify a lack of familial or blood relationship.

🇺🇸 Even if we're unrelated, he helped me like a real sibling.
