EN: to get entangled, to get complicated
This is what happens to your earphones inside your pocket. They sumalabid. It's also the perfect word for a messy love triangle or a 'chismis' (gossip) that gets more and more complicated as it spreads. When things, relationships, or stories get twisted and tangled up, they sumalabid. 'Friend, ang gulo na ng kwento, sumalabid na masyado!'
Can be used for both physical objects (like ropes, hair, thread) and abstract situations (like stories, problems). This is the completed action (past tense) form.
