You know that picture frame on the wall that's just a little bit crooked and it drives you crazy? That's 'patiwas'. It's that feeling when your san-gwich is cut unevenly, or when you build a Jenga tower that's leaning just a bit too much. It's not completely fallen over ('tumba') or upside down ('patiwarik'), just... off.
This word is quite rare and might be confused with 'patiwarik' or 'tiwasay'. It describes a state of being tilted or unbalanced.
