EN: sound of clearing one's throat; hawk
That awkward sound your tito makes before he tells a long story at a family reunion. It's the human equivalent of a computer's startup sound, but for an incoming 'habilin' or a corny joke. The official sound of "ehem, excuse me, ahem, may sasabihin ako."
Onomatopoeic.
Describes the sound itself. The action is 'sumagaak' or 'pagsagaak'.
🇵🇭 Isang malakas na sagaak ang narinig mula sa matanda bago siya nagsalita.
🇺🇸 A loud throat-clearing sound was heard from the old man before he spoke.
