EN: should; must; ought to
The official word of Filipino parents, bosses, and your own conscience. It's the 'you should' that carries the weight of expectation, responsibility, and sometimes, a little bit of guilt-tripping. 'Dapat nag-aral ka.' 'Dapat on time ka.' It's the prelude to every lecture.
An extremely common and versatile word expressing obligation, propriety, or fitness. Can also function as an adjective meaning 'fitting' or 'proper'.
