FIL: Magbigay ng pahintulot o permiso para sa isang gawain o kahilingan.
EN: to permit, to allow, to grant
The formal, almost divine, version of 'Sige, payag ako.' It's what you ask from your parents when you want to go on a trip: 'Sana'y itulot ninyo ang aking pag-alis.' It has a very 'grant me this wish' vibe, like you're petitioning a higher power (e.g., your boss for a vacation leave, or the heavens for no traffic on EDSA).
ROOT MEANING: permission, consent
This is a formal and somewhat archaic word, often found in literature, prayers, or very formal speech. The common, everyday equivalent is 'payagan' or 'pahintulutan'.
