EN: to brush
That intense cleaning action your mom does on the bathroom floor that sounds like she's fighting a mortal enemy. To iskobahin is not just to brush; it's to scrub with purpose, with vigor, with the power of a thousand angry ancestors, until the tiles are sparkling clean.
From Spanish 'escoba' (broom/brush) + Tagalog verb suffix '-hin'.
Refers to scrubbing with a coarse brush (iskoba), not a toothbrush (sepilyo) or hairbrush (suklay).
