FIL: Isang mahina at nagpapatuloy na pag-iyak o pagdaing, karaniwan dahil sa sakit, lungkot, o paghingi ng pansin.
EN: whimper; whine
This isn't the dramatic, teleserye-level 'iyak'. This is the low-battery, under-your-breath whining a kid does when they're sleepy in the mall. It's the sound you make when it's Monday morning and you have 50 unread emails. It’s a weak, annoying, and persistent form of complaining via sound.
Often associated with children or someone acting childishly. It implies a weak, continuous, and often irritating sound.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na ang nguyngoy mo at matulog ka na.
