FIL: Ang kalagayan ng hindi pagiging abala o kawalan ng anumang kasalukuyang aktibidad.
EN: doing nothing; idle
The default status of a *tambay*. It's you, right now, scrolling on your phone instead of working. It's that moment at work between tasks where you just stare into space. It's not necessarily boredom, it's just a state of... existing. Your boss might call it "unproductive," you call it "conserving energy."
Mula sa "wala" (none) at "ginagawa" (doing), ang kasalukuyang anyo ng pandiwang "gawin".
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
Very similar to 'walang-gagawin', but this emphasizes the current state ('doing nothing') while 'walang-gagawin' can refer to a future state ('nothing to do').
