EN: to sweep (a place)
The verb form of 'adulting.' It's not about what you're sweeping, but *where* you're sweeping it. 'Walisan mo yung kwarto' means clean the whole room, not just the pile of chichirya crumbs. It's about taking responsibility for a messy space, whether it's your floor or your life choices.
ROOT MEANING: broom
Focus is on the location being swept. Contrast with 'walisin' (to sweep something away).
