EN: right next to; immediately adjacent
This isn't just 'next to', this is 'breathing-the-same-air' next to. This is when you're in a packed jeepney and your face is practically in someone's armpit. It's the level of closeness when you can read the messages on your seatmate's phone without even trying. It's "katabi" with zero personal space.
Reduplication of `katabi` for emphasis. `ka-` + `tabi` + `-ng` + `katabi`.
An intensified form of 'katabi'.
