FIL: Ang pagkain sa umaga; ang gawain ng pag-aalmusal.
EN: to eat breakfast
Literally, 'to breakfast.' This is the act of eating your sinangag, itlog, and longganisa (or pandesal with kape). It's the most important meal of the day, fueling you for your commute or morning meeting. 'Tara, **mamahaw** muna tayo bago pumasok sa trabaho.'
From `ma-` + `pamahaw` (breakfast). The word `pamahaw` is more common in Visayan languages but is understood and used in Tagalog, especially in southern regions.
'Mag-almusal' is the more common Tagalog equivalent. 'Mamahaw' is often heard in Southern Tagalog regions or from speakers with Visayan influence.
