Our Favorite Tagalog Words: Kundiman

It's Tagalog Thursday! Every Thursday, we'll post a Filipino word and its meaning. It all started from a post by a friend of mine (thanks Katrina Navarro) that asked:

Ano ang paborito mong salitang Tagalog? (Paki define and/or use in a sentence! Salamat!)

The answers she got really makes you appreciate how deep and rich our language is. Share your favourite word in the comments below and get it featured next week!

The word itself has the music and the longing.

"Kung hindi man"
