EN: Soy sauce
While the official Tagalog word is 'toyo', everyone will know what you mean when you ask for 'soy sauce'. It's that dark, salty liquid that's one half of the iconic 'toyomansi' sawsawan. It's the lifeblood of adobo and the reason your white shirt has a new, permanent brown spot.
Direct borrowing from English 'soy sauce'.
While 'toyo' is the correct Filipino term, 'soy sauce' is widely used and understood, especially in commercial settings or when code-switching.
