What is bored in Filipino?

There are a few ways to say "bored" in Filipino, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Nababagot (na-ba-ba-got) - This is the most common and direct translation of "bored."

* Walang gana (wal-ang ga-na) - This literally means "without desire" and implies a lack of motivation or interest.

Informal:

* Naiinip (na-ii-nip) - This means "impatient" and can be used to describe feeling bored or restless.

* Mainip (ma-i-nip) - This is the shorter, more informal version of "naiinip."

* Nakakabagot (na-ka-ka-ba-got) - This literally means "boring," but can be used to describe how someone feels when they are bored.

Examples:

* Nababagot ako. (I am bored.)

* Walang gana akong maglaro. (I don't feel like playing.)

* Naiinip na ako sa paghihintay. (I'm getting impatient waiting.)

* Nakakabagot itong pelikula. (This movie is boring.)

The best choice depends on the situation.
