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!").
🇵🇭 Huwag kang madamot sa pagkain, ibahagi mo sa iyong kapatid.
🇺🇸 Don't be stingy with the food, share it with your sibling.
🇵🇭 Kilala siya sa kanyang pagkadamot kaya kaunti lang ang kanyang kaibigan.
🇺🇸 He is known for his selfishness, which is why he has few friends.
🇵🇭 Ang damot mo naman! Pahingi lang ng isang piraso e.
🇺🇸 You're so selfish! I'm just asking for one piece.
