FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging tunaw o lusaw ng isang bagay na solido, o ang pagbaba ng konsentrasyon ng isang timpla sa pamamagitan ng pagdaragdag ng likido.
EN: dilution; state of being melted
Ever had iced coffee that sat out for too long? That sad, watery state is pagkalasaw. It's the melting of ice in your drink, making it "matabang" (bland). It's when the "sarsa" (sauce) is too thin. Figuratively, it can even describe a feeling or an idea that has lost its potency or intensity. "Yung galit ko, nag-pagkalasaw na rin sa tagal ng paghihintay."
From `pagka-` (gerund/manner prefix) + `lasaw` (diluted, melted).
ROOT MEANING: watery; diluted; bland
Often refers to drinks, sauces, or anything that can be diluted.

🇺🇸 Because of the heat, the melting of the ice in the glass was fast.

🇺🇸 I don't like coffee where the dilution is obvious; I want it strong.
