EN: to dilute; to make thin or watery
What you do to the sinigang broth when it's too sour, or to the iced tea when it's too sweet. It's also what happens to the chismis when it passes through too many people—the story gets diluted and the facts become watery.
From the root word "labnaw" (thinness, wateriness) + "-an" suffix.
Used for liquids like sauces, drinks, soups, or even chemical solutions. The opposite is "palaputin" (to thicken).
