Not just a plant, it's a lifestyle. It's the 'mais con yelo' on a hot day, the grilled corn on the street corner with butter and salt, the popcorn for your movie marathon, and sometimes, the 'corny' joke your dad tells. "Gutom na 'ko, bili tayo ng nilagang **mais**."
From Spanish 'maíz'.
Can refer to the plant, the cob, or the kernels.
