EN: worn-out; frayed
This is the state of your favorite t-shirt after being worn 1,000 times. It's the condition of the doormat that has seen too many shoes. Or your patience at the end of a long work week. **Yatyat** means it's been rubbed the wrong way (literally) so many times that it's now thin, frayed, and about to give up. The physical form of 'pagod na ako.'
Often used to describe fabric, ropes, or other materials that degrade from friction. Can also be a verb root ('yatyatin' - to wear something out).
