EN: to have someone say no; to forbid on someone's behalf
This is a very specific, almost manipulative verb. It's when you tell someone to refuse something for you. "Kung tatawag si ex, **ipahindi** mo ako, sabihin mo tulog." You're basically outsourcing your "no." It's the ultimate 'paki-ghost' move.
ROOT MEANING: no; not
This verb is often used in situations where a person uses another person (like a parent or a secretary) as the reason for refusal.
