What does ayaw mean in Filipino?

"Ayaw" in Filipino means "don't want" or "refuse".

It's a common word used to express a lack of desire or willingness to do something. Here are some examples:

* Ayaw ko ng kape. (I don't want coffee.)

* Ayaw niyang lumabas. (She doesn't want to go out.)

* Ayaw ko sa gulay. (I don't like vegetables.)

* Ayaw nila maglaro. (They don't want to play.)

It's important to note that "ayaw" can also be used in a more emphatic way, similar to "no way" or "absolutely not".

For example:

* Ayaw na ayaw ko sa kanya. (I absolutely hate him.)

* Ayaw na ayaw niyang magtrabaho. (He absolutely hates working.)
