EN: smoky
The vibe of a provincial kitchen with a wood-fire stove, a classic Pinoy ihawan session, or EDSA during rush hour. It's when the air is thicker than your lola's hot chocolate. Can be good (barbecue!) or bad (secondhand smoke, pollution). The perfect adjective for that one friend's car that looks like it's trying to send smoke signals.
From 'usok' (smoke). The 'ma-' prefix means 'full of' or 'characterized by'.
ROOT MEANING: smoke, fume
Can describe a place (e.g., 'mausok na kwarto' - a smoky room) or a thing (e.g., 'mausok na tambutso' - a smoky exhaust pipe).
