/pa-HA-wak/
FIL: Ang bahagi ng isang bagay na sadyang ginawa upang hawakan o tanganan.
EN: handle, grip
The 'pahawak' is the designated holding area. It's the handle on your coffee mug, the strap on your bag, or that tiny loop on your water bottle. Basically, it’s the part that says, "Dito ka kumapit, bes!" (Hold on here, bestie!).
From `pa-` (instrumental prefix) + `hawak` (hold).
Can also be used as a command, "Pahawak (nga) nito," meaning "Please hold this." As a noun, it's less common than the synonym 'hawakan'.
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka, madulas ang pahawak ng kawali.
🇺🇸 Be careful, the handle of the frying pan is slippery.
🇵🇭 Sira na ang pahawak ng lumang maleta.
