EN: to remain silent, to not say a word
The quiet part of 'quiet quitting'. When your friend asks 'Uy, anong problema?' and you just stare into the void, you are choosing to **magwalang-imik**. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive power move or a sign of deep 'tampo'. It's louder than any shout, proving that silence is indeed golden... and very, very stressful for everyone else in the room.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + the phrase 'walang imik' (no utterance/speech).
This verb implies a deliberate choice to be silent, often as a form of non-verbal communication.
