EN: to dress someone; to put clothes on someone
This is what your mom did to you when you were a baby, or what you do to your pet chihuahua when it's cold. It's the act of dressing up another being, not yourself. A stylist, for example, will 'damtan' a celebrity for the red carpet. "Damtan mo nga yung aso ng sweater."
From "damit" (clothes) + "-an" (suffix indicating the object of an action).
Focuses on the person or object being dressed. Contrast with "magdamit," which is reflexive (to dress oneself). "Bihisan" is a more common synonym.
