EN: to lift, to carry
The official verb for when you need to carry something, or someone. From lifting your groceries, to your team at work, to your friend who had one too many San Migs. 'Buhatin ang sariling bangko' is the classic phrase for bragging or hyping yourself up.
From 'buhat' (lift) + '-in' (object-focus verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: to lift
Often used interchangeably with 'dalhin' (to bring/carry), but 'buhatin' specifically emphasizes the act of lifting.
