معنی
Describing a peaceful evening.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Tahimik na Gabi' is the title of the Tagalog version of 'Silent Night'. It is sung throughout the world's longest Christmas season (September to January). In the 'baryo' (village), a quiet night is the norm. It is often associated with the sound of the 'tuko' (gecko) or 'kuliglig' (cricket), which are considered part of the silence. In Manila, a 'tahimik na gabi' is rare and often only happens during 'Holy Week' (Semana Santa) when people leave the city. A night that is *too* quiet is sometimes feared as a sign that an 'aswang' (mythical creature) is nearby, as animals stop making noise when a predator is close.
