EN: to make compatible; to harmonize; to align
Think of this as the ultimate 'ship' verb. It's when you try to make things work together, whether it's your outfit (terno), your schedule with your barkada's, or two friends you're trying to set up on a date. 'Isuwato natin ang mga ideya natin para sa project.' It's the art of finding that perfect match, that seamless blend. It's like trying to get your parents to agree with your life choices—a constant process of trying to harmonize.
