EN: to wash
The ultimate chore. It's what you do to your hands to fight germs, to the dishes after you eat (or what you promise your mom you'll do 'later'), and to your feet when you get home from a long commute. The eternal enemy of the 'tamad' and the best friend of 'malinis'.
ROOT MEANING: wash; act of washing
A general term for washing. For specificity, you add what is being washed, e.g., 'maghugas ng kamay' (wash hands), 'maghugas ng pinggan' (wash dishes). To wash clothes is 'maglaba'. To wash one's body is 'maligo'.
