EN: to wilt something (by heat); to scald
This is a classic kitchen prep move. You *languhin* the banana leaves over a flame to make them pliable for wrapping suman or bibingka. It's like giving the leaves a quick spa treatment so they don't tear. In life, sometimes you feel *nilalango* by stress—heated up and softened until you're about to break.
Primarily used in a culinary context, especially with leaves for wrapping food. Do not confuse with 'langu-languhin' (to fool).
🇵🇭 Kailangan mong languhin ang dahon ng saging bago gamitin pangbalot.
🇺🇸 You need to wilt the banana leaf before using it as a wrapper.
