EN: to request something for someone; to plead for something
This is the verb for when you need a *really* big favor. You don't just ask (hingin), you *plead*. "**Ipakiusap** mo naman ako sa boss mo na bigyan ako ng isa pang chance." It's activating your full-on persuasive, pabebe, or desperate mode to get something done through someone else.
ROOT MEANING: Talk; conversation (as a root word)
The prefix 'ipaki-' adds a layer of politeness and pleading to the request. It's asking someone to make a request on your behalf, or to intercede.
