EN: to walk around; to stroll
This is what you do in the mall when you have no money. You're not really shopping, you're just 'walking around.' It's the official pastime of people waiting for their friend who is always late. Not a power walk, not a commute, just a chill, aimless stroll to see what's up. The perfect activity for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Reduplication of `lakad` (walk) with the infix `-um-` on the first part.
The repetition of `lakad` indicates a casual, non-purposeful, or repetitive action, similar to `kain-kain` (eating a little) or `tulog-tulog` (sleeping lightly/intermittently).
