EN: to guide by the hand, to lead
This is what your friend does when you've had one too many San Mig Lights. It's also what a good mentor or leader does for their team—guiding them, not dragging them. Figuratively, it's about leading someone towards a better path, like 'akayin mo siya sa kabutihan' (lead them to goodness).
From 'akay' + '-in' suffix.
Can be literal (physically guiding someone) or figurative (guiding someone morally or intellectually).
