LANSA

amoy ng isda

lansá
smell of fish

malansá
fishy (smelling of fish)

Malansa ang kamay ko.
My hands smell of fish.

Ang lansá ng amoy!
So fishy the smell.

This word refers to more of a literally fishy smell, not the figurative meaning of “fishy” (suspicious) in English.

But there’s a more *disgusting* perception of the odor of fish.

Ikaw ay mas masahol pa sa malansang isda. 
You are even worse than a foul-smelling fish.
