EN: to lose something (intentionally or unintentionally)
The more common cousin of 'iwaglit'. This is your go-to word for losing things. "Naiwala ko ang wallet ko!" is a national crisis. It can be accidental, but it can also be intentional, like when you "lose" your ex's number. "Bes, iwala mo na 'yung resibo, baka makita pa ni Misis." It's the universal verb for when something is present, and then suddenly, it's not.
i- (verb prefix) + wala (nothing, none)
ROOT MEANING: none; nothing; absent
Very common. The prefix `ma-` (`mawala`) is used when something gets lost on its own (intransitive), while `i-` (`iwala`) is used when someone loses something (transitive).
