Pang-uri

FIL: Isang salitang nag-aanyaya o nag-uutos na lumapit o sumama. Katumbas ng 'tara na' o 'halika.'
EN: Come; let's go
The old-school, more poetic way of saying 'Tara!'. It's what your lola would say to call you for merienda. It sounds gentle and inviting, not the demanding 'Halika dito!'. Think of the folk song 'Leron Leron Sinta': 'Halina, halina, mga kaliyag...'.
Often used in songs, poems, and more formal or traditional speech. 'Halika' is the modern, everyday equivalent.
🇵🇭 Halina kayo at kumain na tayo.
🇺🇸 Come everyone, let's eat.
🇵🇭 Halina, mga kaibigan, at magdiwang!
🇺🇸 Let's go, friends, and celebrate!
