EN: to give a ride (on a motorcycle/bicycle)
This is the official verb for saying "be my backride." When you see your friend with a motorcycle and you need a lift, you ask, "Ipag-angkas mo naman ako!" It's the ultimate solution for beating traffic, Filipino style. It's not just a ride; it's an experience of trust (and holding on for dear life).
ipag- (benefactive prefix) + angkas (to ride as a passenger on a two-wheeled vehicle)
ROOT MEANING: back-ride passenger
Used to ask for or to give someone a ride on a two-wheeled vehicle. The simpler form 'iangkas' is also very common.
