EN: to pack; the act of packing
This is what you do the night before a long weekend trip, frantically stuffing your entire closet into one small backpack. It's also what your balikbayan tita does for three months, expertly playing Tetris with corned beef cans and beauty soaps in a giant box. 'Mag-empake ka na!' is the official battle cry of mothers everywhere before a family outing.
From Spanish 'empaque' (packing, packaging).
Can be used as a verb root (e.g., nag-empake, mag-empake) or as a noun referring to the act itself. The spelling 'impake' is also common.
🇵🇭 Kailangan ko nang mag-empake para sa flight ko bukas.
🇺🇸 I need to pack for my flight tomorrow.
🇵🇭 Ang hirap ng pag-empake kapag maraming pasalubong.
🇺🇸 The act of packing is hard when you have a lot of souvenirs.
