/ba-TI/
FIL: Ang mabilis at paulit-ulit na paghahalo ng mga sangkap, tulad ng itlog o krema, gamit ang isang kasangkapan.
EN: to beat; to mix
This is what you do to eggs before making an omelette, or to batter for hotcakes. It's a controlled 'gulo' in the kitchen. Also, it's what your heart does (binabati) when you see your crush approaching—a rapid, chaotic mix of emotions.
The stress on the second syllable /ba-TI/ distinguishes it from the greeting /BA-ti/. The verb is often conjugated as 'batihin' (to beat something) or 'bumati' (to do the beating).
