EN: Damn it!
The SFW-ish curse word you can probably get away with in front of your tita (but not your lola). From the Spanish word for 'milk' (leche), it's the perfect expression for when you stub your toe, your internet goes out during a crucial Zoom meeting, or you realize you left your wallet at home. 'Letse!' is the sigh of a frustrated Filipino soul.
From Spanish 'leche' (milk), a common euphemistic curse in Spain.
A very common expression of frustration. While milder than other Filipino curses, it is still considered vulgar and inappropriate in formal settings.
