The official relationship status after a "Cool off muna tayo." It means 'separate.' Can apply to your laundry (whites and colors), your living situation with your parents, or your relationship status that all your chismosa titas will ask about.
Possibly from 'hiwa' (cut) + '-lay' (a suffix indicating separation or distance).
Can be used as an adjective ("hiwalay na gamit" - separate things) or an adverb ("tumira nang hiwalay" - to live separately).
