FIL: Ang hawakan ng isang tasa, basket, o anumang sisidlan, karaniwang hugis arko o bilog.
EN: handle (of a cup, basket)
The thing you grip for dear life on your 'But first, coffee' mug on a Monday morning. It's the difference between a useful cup and just a ceramic cylinder. Without a pakaw, your mug is just a pen holder.
'Hawakan' is a more general and common term. 'Pakaw' often refers specifically to a looped or curved handle.
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka, mainit ang pakaw ng takure.
🇺🇸 Be careful, the handle of the kettle is hot.
🇵🇭 Nabali ang pakaw ng paborito kong tasa.
🇺🇸 The handle of my favorite cup broke.
