FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging marahan, banayad, o hindi nagmamadali sa pagkilos, pananalita, o paggawa.
EN: slowness, gentleness, care
This is the root word for that thing your mom tells you to do 100 times a day: 'Dahan-dahan!'. 'Dahan' by itself is the concept of slowness or gentleness. Think of it as the opposite of the 'panic' button. It's the chill, laid-back vibe you need when handling a fragile item, talking to a scared kitten, or trying not to wake up the baby.
Rarely used on its own. Almost always seen in its reduplicated form, 'dahan-dahan'.
