<p>MAYNILA— Isa sa mga terminong pumatok ngayong taon ang &quot;Sobrang Latina,&quot; ekspresyon para purihin ang isang taong maganda o may striking na features.</p><p>Ayon sa content creator na si Sesable na nakilala dahil dito, inspired ang slang sa Latina makeup style na may matapang at defined na features. </p><p>Pero higit pa sa makeup, sumasalamin din ito sa confidence at pagiging fierce ng isang tao.</p><p>Sumikat din ang katagang &quot;monyeka&quot; o “Grabe ang pagka-monyeka”, na galing sa manyika o doll. Ginagamit din ito para ipahayag ang paghanga sa taong tila perpektong manyika sa kanyang hitsura.</p><p>Maganda man ang pagkabuhay ng wikang Filipino dahil sa mga pumapatok na slang, may paalala ang linguistics expert na si Dr. Lakandupil Garcia sa paggamit nito.</p><p>Posible kasi aniyang maging ugat ng diskriminasyon batay sa itsura ang ganitong mga salita kahit inosente naman o positibo ang intensyon nito. </p><p>Kaya sabi ng eksperto maging maingat sa pagsabay sa mga trend at kilalanin din mabuti ang wikang gamit.</p><div> </div><div><strong>– Ulat ni Ganiel Krishnan, Patrol ng Pilipino</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><em>Video produced by Saria Gamueda &amp; Ren Benedicto</em></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/2/25/content-creator-sesable-shares-origin-of-her-viral-catchphrase-1414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#x27;Sobrang latina!&#x27;: Content creator Sesable shares origin of her viral catchphrase</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/technology/2025/1/1/2024-coded-brat-slang-words-na-pumatok-online-alamin-0119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2024-coded: ‘Brat’ slang words na pumatok online alamin</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/8/20/bahagi-na-nga-ba-ng-wikang-filipino-ang-mga-salitang-gen-z-1953" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bahagi na nga ba ng Wikang Filipino ang mga salitang Gen Z?</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/multimedia/video/08/21/23/alamin-ilang-salita-parirala-sa-philippine-english" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ilang salita, parirala sa ‘Philippine English’, alamin</a></div>
