EN: pants; trousers; underwear
Technically, this means pants. But in real talk, this is the old-school, formal, or sometimes funny word for 'underwear' or 'briefs'. You wouldn't tell your friend "Nice salawal!" unless you're trying to be funny. But your lola might ask you if you've changed your salawal.
From Malay 'seluar'.
Can mean 'pants' in a more traditional or literary context, but colloquially it often refers to underwear. 'Pantalon' is the more common word for pants.
