EN: to buy something
The "add to cart" verb. This is what you do when you see something on Shopee or Lazada and your self-control has left the chat. "Bilhin mo na 'yan!" is the official mantra of your enabler friend. Unlike 'bilhan' (buy *for* someone), 'bilhin' focuses on the object of your desire. It's the verb that powers online shopping and impulsive "treat yourself" moments.
From 'bili' (buy) + '-hin' (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: purchase; the act of buying
The focus of the action is on the object being bought.
