FIL: Ang paghikayat o paghimok sa isang tao na gawin ang isang bagay, kadalasan sa pamamagitan ng pang-aakit o pag-aalok ng kaaya-ayang pabuya.
EN: to entice, to lure, to persuade
This is the "budol" verb. It's how online shops maganyo you with "50% OFF!" and "FREE SHIPPING!" banners. It's also what a friend does to convince you to go out on a Friday night when you promised yourself you'd stay home and save money. "Isa lang, pramis!"
From `ganyo`, meaning enticement or persuasion. Possibly from Spanish `engaño` (deceit, trick) but has evolved to mean more like 'persuade' or 'entice'.
Often carries a slightly negative or manipulative connotation, but can also be used neutrally for persuasion.
