EN: weighing scale
The 'timbangan' is your frenemy at the 'palengke' (wet market). You use it to make sure the vendor isn't cheating you on your kilo of pork. It's also that thing in the bathroom you avoid after the holidays. From checking your baggage allowance at the airport to measuring ingredients for baking, the 'timbangan' is the ultimate judge of weight. "Patingin sa timbangan, ate!"
From 'timbang' (weight) + '-an' (noun suffix indicating a place or instrument).
Refers to any kind of scale, from a small kitchen scale to a large industrial one.
