EN: To browse through pages; to open a book
The pre-internet version of "scrolling." `Magbuklat` is the act of flipping through the pages of a book, a magazine, or your old photo albums. It's what you do in a bookstore when you're trying to decide if a book is worth buying, or what your parents do when they find your old "slumbook" and threaten to read it out loud. It's an act of discovery, one page at a time.
From `mag-` (verb-forming prefix) + `buklat` (to open/turn pages).
ROOT MEANING: act of opening or browsing a book
More specific than `magbukas`. `Magbukas` is just opening the cover, `magbuklat` implies turning the pages inside.
