FIL: Ang pagpapatimbang ng isang bagay gamit ang sukatang kilo.
EN: to have something weighed by the kilo
Your go-to command at the palengke. You point at the freshest-looking tilapia and tell Aling Nena, "Ikilo mo 'to," which means "Weigh this (by the kilo)." It's the magic word to turn a pile of vegetables or a catch of fish into a quantifiable, priceable commodity.
From i- (causative prefix) + kilo (kilogram).
The object of the verb is the thing being weighed.
