EN: Go now!; It's a deal!
Has two main uses. 1) Your mom when you're late for school: 'Lakad na!' (Go now!). 2) When you finally agree on a price at the 'palengke' or Greenhills, the vendor says, 'Sige, lakad na!' (Okay, it's a deal!). It's the verbal equivalent of a firm handshake.
An idiomatic expression. The tone of voice is crucial in determining the meaning. It is considered colloquial.
