EN: to disturb, to bother, to interrupt
The official verb for that one officemate who asks you a question when you're clearly wearing headphones, the telemarketer who calls during dinner, or the neighbor who decides 7 AM on a Sunday is the perfect time for karaoke. It's the act of being an 'istorbo'. The motto is 'Do not disturb,' pero may mga pasaway talagang gustong manggambala.
From `mang-` (verb prefix) + `gambala` (disturbance).
Implies a deliberate or at least a noticeable disruption.
🇵🇭 Pakiusap, huwag kang manggambala habang may online meeting.
