EN: suppressed; stifled; guttural
That sound you make when you're trying not to laugh in a serious meeting. That little squeak or choked sob when you're trying to hide that you're crying. It's a sound that's held back, full of unexpressed emotion. A 'paimpit na tawa' (stifled laugh) or a 'paimpit na iyak' (suppressed sob). It's the audio equivalent of biting your tongue.
Often describes a sound, like a laugh, cry, or scream. The glottal stop at the end is characteristic.
