EN: to hurry up; to speed up
The official command of anyone who is "Filipino time" intolerant. Your mom yells "Bilisan mo!" when you're getting ready for school. Your friend texts "Bilisan n'yo, nandito na 'ko!" when they arrive first. It's the verb form of panic and impatience. It means "Hurry up!" or "Step on it!".
From 'bilis' (speed) + '-an' (verb-forming suffix).
ROOT MEANING: speed; swiftness; quickness
A command or a request to increase speed.
