FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging nakahiga at hindi makabangon dahil sa malubhang sakit, matinding pagod, o kapansanan.
EN: bedridden; prostrate
This is a heavy word. It's not just 'higa' (lying down) or 'pahinga' (resting). 'Datay' is when you're stuck in bed, usually due to a serious illness or injury. It's the state you're in when you have the flu so bad you can't even lift your head to check your phone. It implies a state of helplessness and dependency.
Often used in the form 'nakadatay'. It carries a more serious connotation than simply lying down.

🇵🇭 Nakakaawa ang matanda dahil datay na at walang nag-aalaga.
