EN: Correspondence; exchange of letters
Before DMs, Messenger, and email, there was 'pagsusuwatan'. This was the OG long-distance relationship tool. It's the slow, romantic, and often beautifully handwritten exchange of thoughts and feelings. Today, it's the official term for that flurry of emails between you and HR about your leave credits.
From 'sulat' (write), with reduplication and affixes to denote a reciprocal action.
ROOT MEANING: letter; writing; handwriting
Often implies a mutual or reciprocal act of writing to each other. The root 'suwat' is an archaic form of 'sulat'.
