EN: To dress someone
What you do to a baby, a toddler, or a Barbie doll. It's the act of putting clothes on someone (or something) who can't do it themselves. 'Damitan mo na yung bata, aalis na tayo!' is a classic parent line.
From 'damit' (clothes) + '-an' (verb suffix indicating action upon an object).
The object of the verb is the person/thing being dressed, not the clothes. Contrast with 'magdamit' (to wear clothes, to dress oneself).
🇵🇭 Tulungan mo akong damitan ang manika.
🇺🇸 Help me dress the doll.
🇵🇭 Damitan mo na ang kapatid mo at malamig sa labas.
🇺🇸 Put clothes on your sibling, it's cold outside.
