FIL: Ang mawalan o mamalat ang boses, karaniwan dahil sa sobrang pagsigaw o pagkanta.
EN: to become hoarse; to lose one's voice
This is what happens to your voice after a karaoke marathon, a heated UAAP game, or shouting 'Darna!' at the top of your lungs. Your voice suddenly goes on an unannounced leave of absence. 'Paos' is the more common term, but pumaga is its dramatic, verb-form cousin.
From the root word 'paga' (hoarseness) with the -um- infix.
ROOT MEANING: hoarse; husky (voice)
Less common in everyday conversation than 'namamaos' or 'napaos'.

🇺🇸 My throat almost became hoarse from shouting at the concert.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang masyadong sumigaw, baka ka pumaga.
🇺🇸 Don't shout too much, you might lose your voice.
