/HA-taw/
FIL: Isang malakas na pagpalo, paghampas, o pagtama sa isang bagay. Sa modernong gamit, tumutukoy din sa masiglang pagsayaw o pagtatanghal.
EN: A strike; a hit; an energetic performance
This is a powerful, impactful hit. Think of a drum solo, a powerful dance move, or landing a critical hit in a game. It's also what your mom threatens you with using a 'walis tambo'. In modern slang, 'hataw' means to go all out, to give it your all, especially in dancing or performing. 'Hataw kung hataw!' means they're not holding back.
Can refer to a literal strike or, in a more modern sense, to perform with high energy and intensity.
