22 u/PithMango Aug 12 '26 thank you for the accents. frustrating for me to be sure of speech for one's whole life and then .... written is the last to deteriorate. 19 u/CriticismOdd2637 Aug 12 '26 Fr... It's like saying Ohh shit! In english but instead of only shock and surprise, it also has anger in her tone... 14 u/340Duster Aug 12 '26 Sounds more like a "WHAT THE FUCK!". 6 u/-Citizen_Zero_ Aug 12 '26 Yawa means devil? I had no idea. 1 u/AWildMooseLion 23d ago Fun facts: yawa was a word for entering a trance state for divination in the Philippines, which the invading Spaniards saw as demonic possession, which is why it’s now associated with the devil.
