FIL: Isang maliit na hayop na mabilis dumami, karaniwang itinuturing na peste, at may mahabang buntot.
EN: rat; mouse
The uninvited tenant in your house that doesn't pay rent. The reason you suddenly hear scratching sounds in the ceiling at 3 AM. In the Philippines, seeing a 'daga' can range from a minor annoyance (small house mouse) to a major problem (a rat the size of a kitten). It's also a classic insult for someone who is sneaky or a thief ("mukhang daga").
The term covers both rats and mice, although "maliit na daga" can be used to specify a mouse.
