FIL: Ang akto ng pagsipsip ng likido mula sa isang lalagyan o pinagmulan.
EN: to sip from
This is the verb form you use when you're telling someone *where* to slurp from. 'Higupan mo 'tong mangkok' (Sip from this bowl). It's object-focused, but the object is the source, not the liquid itself. Perfect for when you want to share your bulalo but not the actual meat.
ROOT MEANING: sip, slurp
The focus of this verb is the container or source from which one sips. Contrast with 'higupin', which focuses on the liquid being sipped.
