FIL: Sa paraang may pag-iingat; dahan-dahan at may pansin sa kaligtasan.
EN: carefully; with care
This is how your mom tells you to do things when you're handling something fragile or expensive. 'Hawakan mo 'yan nang paingat!' (Hold that carefully!). It's the opposite of being 'burara' or reckless. It’s moving with the precision of someone diffusing a bomb, or, more relatably, carrying a full bowl of hot sinigang to the dining table.
ROOT MEANING: take care; be careful
Often used with 'nang' to form an adverbial phrase: 'nang paingat'. It is a stylistic variation of 'nang maingat'.
