EN: paragraph
That block of text you have to read for school, or the one you write in a long, dramatic text message to your jowa explaining your feelings. A good **talata** is like a well-made sandwich: may intro (top bread), may laman (the juicy details), at may conclusion (bottom bread).
Possibly from Sanskrit *lata* (creeper, vine), referring to a line or string of words, though this is not confirmed.
Commonly used in schools and in writing. The Spanish-derived 'parapo' is also used.
