EN: ant-infested; to be swarmed by ants
This is what happens when you leave your half-eaten Jollibee spaghetti on the table overnight. Pag-gising mo, may sarili nang fiesta at parada ang mga langgam. It's the universe's way of telling you to clean up your mess. 'Bes, nilanggam 'yung cake na tinago mo!' is a tragedy in five words.
ROOT MEANING: ant
Can function as an adjective ('langgamin ang mesa' - the table is ant-infested) or a verb ('nilanggam ang tinapay' - the ants swarmed the bread).
🇵🇭 Itapon mo na 'yan, nilanggam na.
