EN: to faint
That feeling when you stand up too fast after a long meeting. Or when your crush finally talks to you and your soul briefly leaves your body. "Bes, muntik na akong `desmayahin` sa kilig!" Can also be used for actual medical fainting, but the dramatic version is more fun.
From Spanish 'desmayar' (to faint).
The verb form `mahilo` (to get dizzy) is more common in everyday speech, while `desmayahin` or `himatayin` implies a full loss of consciousness.
