EN: to love (someone/something)
This is the verb form of 'ibig' and it's the 'pang-harana' (for serenading) level of love. You don't just 'mahal' them, you *ibigin* them. It's dramatic, poetic, and sounds like something from a classic Filipino movie. 'O, giliw ko, **ibigin** mo rin ako...'
From `ibig` (love) + `-in` (object-focus verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: love; want; desire
A more formal and poetic alternative to 'mahálin'. The focus is on the person or thing being loved.
