EN: to belch out; to burp out
That sound you make after chugging a whole bottle of Coke. It's the verb for burping something out. In some cultures, it's a sign of a satisfying meal. In others, it's what your tita tells you not to do at the dinner table ("Huy, 'wag kang dumighal dito!").
i- (causative prefix) + dighal (burp, belch)

The more common verb form is 'dumighal' (to burp, intransitive). 'Idighal' is transitive, meaning 'to belch out (something)'. For example, 'idighal ang hangin' (to belch out the air).
