EN: to scatter; to strew; to disseminate
Think of a farmer sowing seeds, that's iwalat. Or when a chismosa finds out some hot tea and proceeds to iwalat it to the entire barangay. It's about spreading things out, whether it's grains of rice for the chickens or the latest showbiz gossip.
i- (verb prefix) + walat (scattered, destroyed)
Can refer to physical objects or information. The root `walat` can also mean 'destroyed' or 'in ruins', so `iwalat` can sometimes carry a negative connotation of making a mess.
🇵🇭 Iwalat mo ang mga butil sa bukid para sa mga manok.
🇺🇸 Scatter the grains in the field for the chickens.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong iwalat ang sikreto na sinabi ko sa iyo.
🇺🇸 Don't disseminate the secret that I told you.
🇵🇭 Nagkalat ang mga gamit na parang iniwalat ng bagyo.
