FIL: Isang kolokyal at pinaikling paraan ng pagsasabi ng 'iyan' o 'ayan,' kadalasang ginagamit sa social media at usapang bakla (swardspeak).
EN: that; there (colloquial)
Not the one for knitting! This is pure Gen Z/Twitter slang. It's a cuter, faster way to say 'iyan' (that) or 'ayan' (there). Used to point something out, either literally or figuratively. 'Ganda ng outfit mo, yarn!' or 'Ay, nahulog. Awkward, yarn?' It's the verbal equivalent of a finger-pointing emoji.
Filipino slang, a corruption/shortening of 'iyan.' Popularized on social media.
Highly informal and trendy. Using it might make you sound cool or trying-too-hard, depending on your age and audience.
