EN: to go back for; to return to
This is the official verb for when you leave your phone at the restaurant and have to do a walk of shame back to get it. It's also the verb your friends use when they warn you not to get back with your ex: "Huwag mo nang **balikin** 'yan, bes, move on na!" Two very different kinds of forgotten items, same verb.
ROOT MEANING: return, act of coming back
Often used to mean returning to a place ('balikan ang probinsya'), retrieving a forgotten item ('balikan ang payong'), or revisiting a past relationship or memory ('balikan ang nakaraan').
