EN: to sculpt, to carve
To carve something out, like how a sculptor creates a statue from a block of wood, or how your parents tried to 'lilok' you into becoming a doctor or an engineer. It's the process of shaping something raw into a masterpiece... or at least something that looks like what it's supposed to be.
This is the object-focus form of the verb. The root word is 'lilok' (sculpture, carving).
