EN: sandwich
In the Philippines, a *sandwich* isn't just two slices of bread. It's the pambaon your mom makes, usually with cheese pimiento or egg salad in simple white bread. It's the star of birthday party meriendas, often with the crusts cut off. The pronunciation itself is a cultural marker - are you a /SAND-wits/ person or a more Pinoy /san-WITS/ person?
From English 'sandwich'.
A common loanword fully integrated into Tagalog. Can also be used as a verb 'i-sandwich' (to be squeezed between two things).
