Kaligayahan means what?

• A. Happiness or joy in Filipino.
• B. An accountant or one who calculates.
• C. A tornado, specifically in the Philippines.
• D. Sound of a bell or signal.

Answer: (A)

Kaligayahan means happiness or joy in Filipino. It’s a noun that refers to the feeling of being happy, formed from the root ligaya (joy) with affixes that turn it into the concept of that state. So the best answer is the one that matches this meaning. The other options describe a person who calculates (an accountant), a tornado, or the sound of a bell or signal—none of which relate to happiness. For example, you can say, Ang kaligayahan ay nararamdaman kapag magkakasama tayong lahat.
