EN: to cause hardship; to put in a tight spot
That feeling when it's still the 15th of the month but your wallet is already crying for 'petsa de peligro'. The unexpected car repair, the sudden need for a new phone—these are the things that 'ikagigipit' you. It's what puts you in a financially tight spot, forcing you to eat instant noodles for a week.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'ka-' (causative prefix) + 'gipit' (in a tight spot, financially distressed).
Almost always refers to financial difficulty or a scarcity of resources.
