EN: squandered
This is what happens to your 13th-month pay two weeks after you get it. You see something shiny on Lazada, you treat all your friends to a fancy dinner, and suddenly, you're back to eating instant noodles. You basically 'niwaldas' your bonus. It's the financial version of 'sana all' turning into 'sana 'di na lang.'
This is the completed action (past tense) of 'magwaldas'. It carries a strong negative connotation of irresponsible and reckless spending or wasting of resources.
🇵🇭 Niwaldas niya ang lahat ng kanyang mana sa loob lamang ng isang taon.
🇺🇸 He squandered all his inheritance in just one year.
🇵🇭 Sayang, niwaldas mo lang ang tiwalang ibinigay ko sa'yo.
