FIL: Ang kilos ng pagyao, pag-alis sa mundo, o pagkamatay.
EN: passing away; death; demise
This is the formal, almost poetic way of saying someone has died. It's what you'd see in a formal obituary or hear in a news report. It's less blunt than 'namatay.' Think of it as the 'passing' in 'passing away'—it softens the blow, like putting a pretty filter on a very sad selfie.
From `pag-` (gerund-forming prefix) + `panaw` (to depart, disappear).
Used in formal contexts to refer to death. More euphemistic than `kamatayan`.
🇵🇭 Ang biglaang pagpanaw ng kanilang lolo ay nagdulot ng malaking kalungkutan sa pamilya.
🇺🇸 The sudden demise of their grandfather brought great sadness to the family.
