EN: to wipe with
It's what you do with that basahan when you spill your kape. Or what you do to your screen after your pamangkin leaves greasy fingerprints all over it. "Ma, ipunas mo nga itong panyo sa noo ko, pinagpapawisan na ako sa stress."
From `i-` (verb prefix) + `punas` (wipe).
ROOT MEANING: wipe!
The `i-` prefix indicates that the object being used to wipe is the focus of the sentence. Contrast with `punasan` (to wipe something, where the surface is the focus).
🇵🇭 Ipunas mo ang basang bimpo sa mesa.
🇺🇸 Wipe the table with the wet towel.
🇵🇭 Ang panyo na bigay mo ang ipinunas ko sa aking mga luha.
🇺🇸 The handkerchief you gave me was what I used to wipe my tears.
