EN: to be made an accomplice; to be conspired with
When you get roped into your friend's scheme to surprise-prank another friend, you become `masabwat`. It’s being an accomplice, whether for a surprise birthday party or for hiding the fact that you both ate the last piece of cake. It’s teamwork, but with a hint of secrecy and potential trouble.
From `ma-` (potential/ability prefix) + `sabwat` (conspiracy, plot).
Often carries a negative connotation of being involved in a conspiracy or plot, but can be used playfully for harmless secrets.
🇵🇭 Ang sinumang mapatunayang nasabwat sa krimen ay mananagot din sa batas.
🇺🇸 Anyone proven to have been made an accomplice in the crime will also be held accountable by the law.
🇵🇭 Huwag mo akong idamay diyan, ayokong masabwat sa kalokohan ninyo.
