EN: wailing; bawling; loud complaining
The sound a toddler makes in the supermarket when they don't get the toy they want. It's level 10 iyak with matching sipa. As an adult, it's what you do internally when you see your credit card bill. "Tama na 'yang pag-ngangalngal mo, hindi ka na bata."
Onomatopoeic.
Verb form 'ngumangalngal'. Often used to describe a child's tantrum or an adult's incessant, loud complaining. Has a stronger, more annoying connotation than 'iyak'.

🇺🇸 Don't wail there like a child just because you weren't allowed.
