EN: jokingly; comical
When you say something wild and your friend gives you a look, you say, "Joke lang!" This is the word for that vibe. It's the tone of a stand-up comedian, your tito's corny jokes, or a sarcastic comment delivered with a smile. "Sabi ko, 'Ang ganda mo ngayon,' pero patawa lang." (Be careful with this one, it can backfire!)
From `pa-` (causative prefix, "to make") + `tawa` (laugh).
