FIL: Ang kasalukuyang paglabas ng singaw (gaseous na anyo ng tubig), amoy, o gas mula sa isang bagay.
EN: to steam; to evaporate; to leak (gas)
That thing your rice cooker does when the rice is almost cooked. It's also what happens to your patience when you're stuck in EDSA traffic. 'Amoy gasul, parang may sumisingaw!' It can also mean a secret or a hidden feeling is starting to come out. 'Sumisingaw na ang baho ng mga kalokohan niya.' (The stink of his misdeeds is starting to leak out.)
Possibly related to Malay `singah` (to pant, breathe hard).
This is the present tense of `sumingaw`. It is versatile and can be used for steam, vapor, gas leaks, or even bad odors.
