EN: to substitute, to replace
That moment when your favorite character in a series gets killed off and they try to ihalip a new one, but it's just not the same. It's to substitute or replace. 'Sino ang ihahalip natin kay John sa basketball team habang injured siya?' It's finding a stand-in, a proxy, or a replacement.
Often used in contexts of positions, roles, or ingredients. 'Sa halip na...' (instead of...) is a very common related phrase.
🇵🇭 Si Maria ang inihalip bilang pansamantalang pinuno.
🇺🇸 Maria was substituted as the temporary leader.
🇵🇭 Maaari mong ihalip ang honey sa asukal para mas masustansya.
