EN: incorrect; improper
When you use "ng" instead of "nang." Or when you wear socks with sandals (for some people). It means "incorrect" or "improper." It’s a step above `di-tumpak` because it can also refer to things that are morally or ethically wrong, not just factually inaccurate. It's the grammar police's favorite word.
From `di-` (not) + `wasto` (correct).
Broader than 'di-tumpak', 'di-wasto' can refer to errors in grammar, behavior, or procedure.
