Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "SEEN" (as in "see") + "FEE" (as in "feet") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

Having no appetite, not feeling hungry at all. In Mexico, "filo" means hunger, so "sin filo" is simply the absence of it. It is a casual expression for those days when your stomach is just not asking for anything, even when it is well past mealtime.

Examples

No como, estoy sin filo hoy.

I'm not eating, just not hungry today.

Amanecí sin filo, ni el desayuno se me antoja.

Woke up with zero appetite, not even breakfast sounds good.

Regional synonyms

Suffering from withdrawal symptoms, especially from drugs, but also from anything that is deeply missed. The withdrawal symptoms are painful and can be overwhelming, affecting daily life and mood.
