EN: to scratch (done by an animal)
What happens when you try to give your cat a bath. That sudden swipe that leaves you with red lines on your arm. 'Hala, ninang, bakit may kalmot ka?' 'Pusa 'yan, ineng, nangalos eh.' It's different from 'kamutin' which is what you do when it's itchy. Mangalos is what they do to you.
From `mang-` + `kalos` (scratch mark).
Almost exclusively used for scratches made by animals, especially cats. The resulting scratch is a 'kalos'.
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka sa pusang iyan, mahilig mangalos.
🇺🇸 Be careful with that cat, it likes to scratch.
🇵🇭 Bigla na lang nangalos ang alaga kong pusa habang nilalaro ko.
🇺🇸 My pet cat suddenly scratched me while I was playing with it.
