EN: suicide
This is a heavy one. It's the act of ending one's own life. It's a word we use with seriousness and sadness, often followed by discussions about mental health, depression, and the importance of reaching out. It's the 'final straw' hugot, but in the most tragic, irreversible way. If you hear this word in a real conversation, it's time to stop joking and start listening.
Possibly from pati- (self-inflicted) + wakal (an archaic word meaning 'to untie' or 'to undo'), literally 'to undo oneself'.
A very serious term. The verb form is 'magpatiwakal' (to commit suicide). Use with sensitivity. 'Pagpapakamatay' is a more common synonym.
🇵🇭 Ang pag-uusap tungkol sa patiwakal ay mahalaga upang mapataas ang kamalayan sa kalusugang pangkaisipan.
