FIL: Ihagis o ilagay sa basurahan ang isang bagay na hindi na kailangan o gamit; maaari ring mangahulugang aksayahin.
EN: to throw away, to dispose of, to waste
The classic "Tapos na, pwede nang itapon." This applies to trash, leftovers, and sadly, for some, relationships (charot!). It's the final act of decluttering your room and your life. "Itapon mo na 'yan" is the advice you give your friend who's still keeping their ex's old shirt. It can also mean to waste an opportunity: "Huwag mong itapon ang pagkakataon."
From i- (causative verb prefix) + tapon (throw, waste).
Can mean literal disposal of garbage or metaphorical wasting of things like time, money, or opportunities.
