What is the Tagalog of paradox?

There isn't a direct one-word translation of "paradox" in Tagalog. However, you can use different phrases depending on the context:

Formal:

* Salungat na katotohanan (Contradictory truth)

* Kabalintunaan (Irony)

* Paradoha (Borrowed word, but not as common)

Informal:

* Kabaligtaran (Opposite)

* Magkasalungat (Contradictory)

* Nakakagulo sa isipan (Mind-boggling)

The best translation will depend on the specific situation and the nuance you want to convey.

For example:

* "The paradox of choice" could be translated as "Ang kabalintunaan ng pagpipili" or "Ang nakakagulo sa isipan na pagpipilian."

* "It's a paradox that he's both happy and sad." could be translated as "Paradoha na siya ay masaya at malungkot."

Remember, context is key when translating!
