FIL: Isang salitang-utos na pinaikling anyo ng "halika," na nangangahulugang "lumapit dito."
EN: Come here
The one-word command your lola uses when she wants to give you money (or a pinch on the side). It's the shorter, more urgent, and more familiar version of 'halika.' '**Hali** ka, may ibibigay ako sa'yo.'
Shortened from 'halika', which is from 'hali ka rito' (come here).
This is colloquial and used in informal speech, often in an imperative or commanding tone. It is almost always followed by 'ka'.
🇵🇭 Hali ka, anak, at may sasabihin si Inay.
🇺🇸 Come here, child, Mom has something to say.
🇵🇭 'Hali!' sigaw niya mula sa kabilang kwarto.
🇺🇸 'Come here!' he shouted from the other room.
