EN: buttons
Buttons. Yes, just buttons. But not just any buttons. This is the word your lola or your neighborhood mananahi (seamstress) would use. It feels more classic than the English word. If you lose one, 'Nawala ang **bitones** ng polo ko!' and it sounds 10x more urgent.
From Spanish 'botones' (buttons).
Used interchangeably with the English word 'button,' but 'bitones' has a more traditional or classic feel. The singular form is 'bitones' as well, though some may say 'isang bitones'.
