FIL: Ang manghikayat o mag-udyok sa isang tao na gawin ang isang bagay sa pamamagitan ng pakiusap o panghihikayat.
EN: to persuade; to urge; to induce
This is next-level persuasion. It's not just asking ('humiling'), it's convincing. It's what your friend does to get you to go out on a Friday night when you just want to 'humilata'. It's what sales agents do to make you buy that "essential" item. It's the art of making your "no" a "maybe" and your "maybe" a "sige na nga!"
From 'himok' (persuasion) with the -um- infix.
Stronger than 'makiusap' (to plead) and implies successful or attempted persuasion.
