뜻
Describing a large opening in a wall.
문화적 배경
Traditional 'Bahay na Bato' houses feature 'ventanillas'—small windows under the main 'malaking bintana'—to maximize airflow near the floor. It is common for neighbors to greet each other through a 'malaking bintana'. Being 'nakadungaw' (looking out) is a standard afternoon pastime. Some Filipinos believe that a 'malaking bintana' facing the back of another house's window can lead to 'energy' or 'luck' flowing out. During town fiestas, families often display their best curtains and decorations on their 'malaking bintana' to show hospitality.
