EN: to substitute; to use as a replacement
The ultimate 'next please!' move. Your phone broke? `Ipalit` mo ng bago. Your jowa is giving you a headache? Nako, `ipalit` mo na 'yan! (Just kidding... mostly). It's the act of replacing something or someone with another. From a dead lightbulb to a new hire who has to take over, `ipalit` is the verb for the job.
From `i-` (object-focus prefix) + `palit` (change, exchange, replace).
Very common verb. Can be used for objects, people, or even abstract concepts. The object being used as the replacement is the focus of the verb.
