EN: to knead; to mash; to squeeze with hands
The command form of 'lamas'. 'Go on, get your hands dirty.' This is what the recipe tells you to do. It's the act of squishing, kneading, or mashing something thoroughly. Your tita might also say this about your back when she gives you a 'hilot': 'Lalamasin ko lang itong likod mo.'
From 'lamas' + '-in' (object-focus verb suffix).
The object of the verb is the thing being kneaded or mashed.
