EN: diarrhea
Ah, the great equalizer. The reason you suddenly cancel plans and become best friends with your bidet. It's what happens when you trust that sketchy-looking street food a little too much. When someone says they have `pagtatae`, you don't ask questions. You just nod sympathetically and offer them a Pocari Sweat. Also known as LBM or 'Loose Bowel Movement' for the more clinical folks.
From `pag-` (prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable of `tae` (feces). The `pag-` + reduplication form often indicates a condition or ailment.
ROOT MEANING: feces, excrement, poop
A common medical term. While direct, it is generally acceptable in most conversations about health.
