EN: washing machine
The modern-day hero of every household. This magical box saves you from the "labada" blues (and back pain). Just throw your dirty clothes in, add soap, press a button, and voila! You now have more time for Netflix, scrolling through Tiktok, or pretending to be productive.
From Spanish `máquina` (machine) + Tagalog `pan-` (for) + `laba` (laundry).
A compound noun. More commonly referred to simply as "washing machine" in colloquial speech, even when speaking Tagalog.
