FIL: Isang sigaw o utos, karaniwang ginagamit sa mga hayop na humihila tulad ng kabayo o kalabaw upang umabante o bumilis.
EN: Yah!; Giddy-up!
Not to be confused with the feeling of shame! This is what you shout at a kabayo (horse) or kalabaw (carabao) to make it go faster. Think of it as the Filipino "Giddy-up!" or the sound effect you make when pretending to do karate chops. Hi-ya!
Onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of a sharp cry or command.
This is a homonym of 'hiya' (shame) and is differentiated by context, intonation (stress on the first syllable), and often hyphenation in writing.
