What is straight in Tagalog?

The Tagalog word for "straight" depends on the context. Here are a few possibilities:

* Tapat - This is the most common translation and means "honest," "true," or "upright." It can be used for both physical and metaphorical straightness.

* Example: "Ang tapat na sagot ay oo." (The honest answer is yes.)

* Diretso - This translates to "straight" in the sense of a direction or path.

* Example: "Maglakad nang diretso sa kalsada." (Walk straight down the road.)

* Tuwid - This means "straight" in the sense of a physical object being straight or aligned.

* Example: "Tuwid ang kanyang likod." (His back is straight.)

* Prangka - This means "straightforward" or "blunt" and refers to someone who is honest and direct in their communication.

* Example: "Prangka siyang magsalita." (She speaks straightforwardly.)
