EN: Don't speak; Be quiet
The classic "quiet please" with a Filipino flavor. It's what the teacher says when the class is rowdy, what your friend whispers when the chismis is about someone right behind you, or what you tell yourself when you're about to say something you'll regret. "Bes, huwag magsalita... andito si boss."
ROOT MEANING: don't
A direct command to stop talking. Composed of 'huwag' (don't) and 'magsalita' (to speak).
