EN: to grow up; to become bigger
This is the verb of your childhood. It's when your shoes don't fit anymore, and your Tita says, 'Wow, ang laki mo na!' It's also what happens to your credit card debt if you're not careful. It can mean to physically get bigger, or to 'grow up' and become an adult. It's the reason you can't fit into your high school jeans anymore.
From `laki` (big, size) + the infix `-um-`.
Can refer to the growth of people, animals, objects, or even abstract things like problems or debt. The antonym's root is `liit` (small).
