EN: whining plea; whimpering (of a dog)
This is the sound a dog makes when it wants to go out for a walk NOW, or the sound your jowa makes when they *really* want to eat at Jollibee for the fifth time this week. It's a persistent, low-key, annoying sound of wanting something. Less dramatic than pagngangawa, more targeted than pagngangayngay.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `ngilngil` (to whine).
ROOT MEANING: gums
Often associated with dogs, but can be applied to humans in a slightly derogatory way to imply annoying persistence.
🇵🇭 Ginigising ako tuwing umaga ng pagngilngil ng alaga kong aso.
🇺🇸 The whimpering of my pet dog wakes me up every morning.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na ang pagngilngil mo, sinabi nang hindi pwede.
🇺🇸 Stop your whining pleas, I already said no.
