EN: sink; washing place
The battlefield of every Filipino household. This is where the debate "Sino'ng taya sa hugas-plato?" happens. It's where you find a mountain of dishes after a fiesta, and where you secretly rinse a spoon you dropped on the floor (5-second rule!). It's the sink, the lababo, the epicenter of kitchen cleanliness.
ROOT MEANING: wash; act of washing
Can also refer to the thing *to be washed* in some contexts, but its primary meaning is the place of washing (sink). The verb form is "hugasan" (to wash something). This noun form is less common than "lababo".
