EN: threshing floor
Basically, this is the old-school version of a rice mill's threshing machine. Imagine a designated spot where carabaos (or people) would stomp on harvested rice stalks to separate the good stuff (the grains) from the rest. It's the agricultural equivalent of a dance floor, but for food processing.
From 'yasak' (to trample or tread upon).
This term is primarily used in agricultural contexts and is not widely known by urban speakers. 'Giikan' is a more common synonym.
🇵🇭 Dinala ng mga magsasaka ang kanilang mga ani sa yasakan upang simulan ang paggiik.
