FIL: Isang malapot na likido, tulad ng langis o pulot, na dahan-dahang dumadaloy.
EN: viscous fluid; oily substance; slow flow of a thick liquid
Imagine the slow, thick drip of honey or condensed milk. That's 'lanay'. It's the opposite of your sweldo which flows out of your bank account way too fast. 'Lanay' is that satisfyingly slow, thick, and rich flow.
This is a less common word, often found in literature. It specifically describes the quality and movement of viscous liquids.
🇵🇭 Ang lanay ng langis ay kumalat sa sahig.
🇺🇸 The oily substance spread on the floor.
🇵🇭 Pinanood niya ang dahan-dahang lanay ng pulot sa kutsara.
🇺🇸 She watched the slow flow of the honey on the spoon.
