FIL: Pangkalahatang tawag sa mga halaman at alga na tumutubo sa ilalim ng dagat o sa mga baybayin.
EN: seaweed, seagrass
The 'damo' of the sea. It's that slimy, leafy stuff that brushes against your leg when you're swimming at the beach and makes you jump. But it's also the 'nori' wrapped around your sushi, or the main ingredient in some Pinoy salads (lato!). So, it's both a 'yuck, what touched me?' and a 'yum, pass the vinegar!' kind of thing.
From "damo" (grass) + "-ng" (linker) + "dagat" (sea).
A general term for marine algae and plants. Specific types like 'lato' (sea grapes) or 'guso' are also common.
