EN: reprimand, scolding, prohibition
Ito yung "Hoy!" from your nanay when she catches you on your phone instead of washing the dishes. It's a verbal smackdown, a gentle (or not-so-gentle) correction. It's less intense than a full-blown "galit" but more direct than a "parinig". As a verb (sumaway), it's the act of doing this.
Can also function as a verb: sumaway (to reprimand), sinaway (reprimanded).
