FIL: Ang kilos ng pagpasok o pagpihit sa isang bagay na may sinulid (thread) tulad ng tornilyo, takip ng bote, o bombilya, upang ito ay kumabit o sumara nang mahigpit.
EN: to thread (a screw), to screw in
The official term for 'ipapasok mo yung tornilyo paikot.' It's what you do to a lightbulb to make it work, or to the cap of your water bottle to stop it from leaking all over your laptop. The opposite is 'kalasin' or 'tanggalin sa pagkaroskas.' A life skill for anyone who's ever assembled IKEA furniture.
From Spanish 'enroscar' (to screw in), from 'rosca' (thread, screw).
The root word 'roskas' refers to the thread of a screw. 'Iroskas' is the command form. The verb can be conjugated as 'iniroskas' (past), 'iniro-roskas' (present), 'iro-roskas' (future).
🇵🇭 Pakisuyo, iroskas mo nang mahigpit ang takip ng garapon.
🇺🇸 Please, screw the lid of the jar on tightly.
🇵🇭 Hindi ko ma-iroskas ang bagong bombilya dahil mali ang sukat.
🇺🇸 I can't screw in the new lightbulb because it's the wrong size.
