EN: tame; gentle; domesticated
This is the opposite of your "walang jowa" friend on a Friday night. 'Amo' means tame or gentle. Think of a once-feral cat that now lets you give it belly rubs. Or that one super loud officemate who suddenly becomes quiet and gentle when their crush is around. "Uy, ang amo niya ngayon!"
Often used in its intensified form 'maamo' (gentle, meek), especially when describing a person's face or an animal's disposition. The stress is on the second syllable, distinguishing it from 'ámo' (master).
