EN: to have mercy, to feel pity
This is the feeling you get when you see a stray kitten in the rain, or when your friend is crying over a breakup for the fifth time. It's the "aww, kawawa naman" emotion that compels you to help, or at least offer a shoulder to cry on. It’s the core of Filipino charity and compassion.
From 'dala' (to carry) and 'awa' (pity, mercy), literally "to carry pity".
A compound verb that expresses a deep sense of compassion or pity.
