EN: quarantining, the act of being in quarantine
Ah, the word that defined 2020-2022. It's the act of being stuck at home, becoming a plantito/plantita, a master baker, or a binge-watching champion. The official term for 'bawal lumabas.'
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `kuwarentenas`, a Filipinized form of the Spanish `cuarentena` (quarantine).
Gained extremely high frequency during the COVID-19 pandemic. A modern loanword adaptation.
🇵🇭 Mahigpit na ipinatupad ang pagkukuwarentenas sa buong lungsod noong panahon ng pandemya.
🇺🇸 The act of quarantining was strictly implemented throughout the city during the pandemic.
