EN: container; receptacle
Your mom's collection of empty ice cream tubs and biscuit cans. You think it's for cookies, but surprise! It's sewing supplies. A 'lalagyan' is any container that holds hopes, dreams, and often, last night's ulam. The original "Schrödinger's box" of the Pinoy kitchen.
From 'lagay' (to put), meaning 'a place where things are put'.
Can refer to any type of container, from a small box to a large bin. Pronunciation is the same as the verb form, context is key.
