EN: to eat (something)
This is the command form of "to eat." It's what your mom yells when the food is ready, or what you tell yourself when you see that box of pizza after a long day at work. "Kainin mo na 'yan!" means "Just eat it already!" It's the action of devouring something specific, like your feelings... or a whole lechon.
From `kain` (to eat) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
