EN: laughter, laugh
The sound you make when you see a hilarious meme, your friend trips over nothing, or you remember your crush actually replied to your DM. It's the best medicine, unless you're laughing alone in the dark, then it's just creepy. That's tawa.
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tawa.
Often combined with other words to specify the type of laugh (e.g., 'halakhak' for a loud laugh, 'ngisi' for a grin).
