ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Balai

Balai is a word that means many different things in different languages, but I can explain what it means in Tagalog. In Tagalog, balai means "house" or "home."

Imagine you have a special place that you go to every day, where you feel safe and comfortable. Maybe it's your own room, or your grandparent's house. This place is your balai.

Your balai can be a physical place, like a house or an apartment, but it can also be a feeling or a sense of belonging. When you're with the people you love, you can feel like you're at balai even if you're not in a physical house.

So, think of balai as a word that represents the place or feeling that makes you feel safe, comfortable, and happy. It's like a special word that only you and your loved ones understand.
