EN: to cause to miss or fail; to cause a blunder
Ever tried to help someone but ended up making things worse? That's you, *nagpasablay*. It's the vibe of that one groupmate who submits their part late, causing the whole project to get a lower grade. Or when you try to set up two friends, but your awkward introduction just makes it weird. You didn't mean to, but... *sablay*.
ROOT MEANING: A miss; failure; error; off the mark
'Sablay' colloquially means a miss, a failure, or an epic fail. 'Magpasablay' means to be the cause of that failure.
