FIL: Isang malaking anyong tubig na napapaligiran ng lupa, karaniwang tubig-tabang.
EN: lake; lagoon; large pond
It's a body of water that's bigger than your condo's swimming pool but smaller than the West Philippine Sea. Think Taal Lake or Laguna de Bay. Perfect for your next "unwind" post on IG, complete with a dramatic caption about its depth mirroring your feelings.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *danaw.
Can also refer to a large pool of any liquid, like spilled oil, but 'lawa' is more common for 'lake'. 'Lanaw' is more common in certain regions and literature.
