EN: Crossing
That moment of pure faith when you raise your hand sa gitna ng EDSA, hoping a bus will stop for you. You're 'patawid', not just across the street, but also crossing over to a new level of commuter-warrior status. Also, the proper way to use a pedestrian lane, which many people think is just street art.
From 'pa-' (directional prefix) + 'tawid' (to cross).
Used to indicate the action or intention of crossing. Often seen on signs like 'Bawal Tumawid, Nakamamatay' (No Crossing, It's Deadly).
