Hi
Please could someone translate this?
When I say "clear", I specifically refer to the image, or indeed the sound, on a cellphone during a talk on camera.
No doubt many of you have experienced camera calls where the image resembles an abstract expressionist painting!
Best wishes and many thanks,
Simon

"Ang malinaw ay ang kabaligtaran ng malabo" is the accurate literal translation of "Clear is the opposite of unclear."
However, if you really want to sound like a local Tagalog, you would simply say, "Ang malinaw ay kabaligtaran ng malabo," or that of the other translation given here, "Malinaw ang kabaligtaran ng malabo."
To simply put it, the localized translations [of "Clear" is the opposite of "unclear"] would be:
1) Ang "malinaw" ay kabaligtaran ng "malabo".
2) "Malinaw" ang kabaligtaran ng "malabo". (answer of Truth Agape)
Unclear is "malabo" which means not being able to see or hear something clearly. LP
