EN: except, besides, aside from
This is the ultimate 'except for...' word. 'Okay lang ako, puwera na lang kung aalis ka.' (I'm okay, except if you leave). It's the disclaimer, the fine print in your feelings, the one condition that changes everything. It's the 'but wait, there's more' of exclusions.
From Spanish 'fuera' (outside).
Used to introduce an exception to a statement. Not to be confused with the interjection 'Puwera!'.
🇵🇭 Lahat sila ay pumasa, puwera kay Juan.
🇺🇸 They all passed, except for Juan.
🇵🇭 Wala akong ibang gusto puwera sa kapayapaan.
🇺🇸 I want nothing else besides peace.
