EN: selfish, stingy, miserly
The opposite of 'libre.' A person who is 'madamot' is that friend who never shares their food, won't let you borrow a pen, and splits the bill down to the last centavo. They're the human embodiment of the 'This is mine!' meme. Don't be that person. Share your chichirya.
The adjective form is 'madamot'. 'Damot' itself is often used as a noun to mean 'selfishness' (e.g., "Ang damot mo!" - "Your selfishness!").
