Which Filipino word means 'Mistake or error in Filipino'?

• A. Salá
• B. Pag-abangan
• C. Lumusong
• D. Ipatong

Answer: (A)

Mistake or error in Filipino is conveyed by salá. This noun refers to a fault, error, or defect, and it’s the word you’d use when talking about something that went wrong—whether in an answer, a plan, or a mechanism. For example, you might say may salá ang sagot niya to indicate there was a fault in his answer, or may salá ang makina to point to a defect in the machine. The other options describe actions, not mistakes: pag-abangan means to wait for or anticipate, lumusong means to wade or plunge into water, and ipatong means to place on top.
