EN: to set on fire; to burn
The more dramatic, almost poetic way of saying "sunugin." This isn't just for burning trash (basura). You use this when you're burning old love letters in a fit of post-breakup rage, or when a villain in a teleserye wants to burn down the hacienda. It has main character energy.
From 'apoy' (fire).
A more literary or intense synonym for 'sunugin'.

🇵🇭 Inapoy nila ang mga tuyong dahon sa bakuran.
