EN: act of reprimanding or scolding
This is the 'uy, bawal 'yan' move. It's gentler than a full-blown sermon from your mom. Think of a librarian shushing you, or your friend gently telling you, 'Bes, 'wag mo na i-text 'yung ex mo.' It's a light scolding, a friendly correction.
From `pag-` (verbal noun prefix) + `saway` (to forbid, to reprimand lightly).
ROOT MEANING: reprimand, scolding, prohibition
Milder than `pagagalit` (scolding angrily). It implies correction or prohibition.
