FIL: Ang bigas na niluto sa tubig hanggang sa lumambot at maging kanin.
EN: steamed rice; cooked rice
The foundation of every Filipino meal. The one thing you CANNOT run out of. If someone asks "May sinaing pa?" they're not just asking about rice, they're asking about the possibility of life, hope, and another round of ulam. Running out of `sinaing` is a low-key family crisis.
`saing` + `in-`
ROOT MEANING: the act of cooking rice
Can refer to the cooked rice itself or the act/result of cooking rice. Interchangeable with `kanin` in many contexts, but `sinaing` often emphasizes that it was just cooked.
