EN: chalk
The OG marker before whiteboards and smartboards took over. This is the stuff that left dust on your teacher's hands (and sometimes face). Also, the weapon of choice for teachers to throw at sleeping students. 'Yeso blangko' is just a way of saying 'white chalk,' the default color.
From Spanish 'yeso' (gypsum, plaster).
'Yeso blangko' is a redundant phrase meaning 'white chalk,' as 'yeso' is typically white by default. The term might be used to distinguish it from colored chalk.
🇵🇭 Naubusan na kami ng yeso para sa blackboard.
🇺🇸 We've run out of chalk for the blackboard.
🇵🇭 Puro alikabok ng yeso ang damit ng titser.
🇺🇸 The teacher's clothes are full of chalk dust.
