FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang bagay na walang matulis na dulo o talim; mapurol.
EN: pointless, dull, not sharp
This is synonymous with "walang-tasa." It's your ballpen after you've used it to poke a million things other than paper. The pencil that has seen better days. It's the physical state of being ineffective because its point is gone.
From "walang" (without) and "tulis" (sharpness of a point).
ROOT MEANING: Pointed / Sharp point
Often interchangeable with "walang-tasa" or "mapurol," but "tulis" specifically refers to the sharpness of a point, while "tasa" can refer to a point or an edge.
