EN: shoelace
That thing that's always untied when you're in a hurry. The 'sintas' is the humble shoelace, the unsung hero that keeps your shoes from flying off your feet. It's also a classic movie trope: 'Excuse me, your sintas is untied,' is the low-budget way to start a conversation with your crush.
From Spanish 'cintas' (ribbons, tapes).
Can also refer to other types of laces or thin ribbons, but overwhelmingly means shoelace.
🇵🇭 Talian mo ang sintas ng sapatos mo, baka ka madapa.

🇵🇭 Bumili ako ng bagong pares ng sintas na kulay pula.
