EN: to pawn; to mortgage
The ultimate 'kapit sa patalim' move. When petsa de peligro hits hard and you're fresh out of cash, you go to a pawnshop to 'isangla' your jewelry, your phone, or even your laptop. It's a temporary trade: your valuable item for quick cash, hoping you can get it back before the due date. It's the national sport during 'gipit' season.
The object being pawned is the focus of the sentence when using the 'i-' prefix. For example, 'Isangla mo ang alahas' means '(You) pawn the jewelry'.
