EN: to take turns (repeatedly); to alternate continuously
Think of a BPO graveyard shift. You and your teammate maghali-halili in taking calls and taking coffee breaks. It’s the constant, repeated act of taking turns. Or when you're on a long road trip, you and your friend maghali-halili sa pag-drive. It's more dynamic and continuous than just 'maghalili'.
The reduplication of 'hali-' emphasizes the repetitive or continuous nature of the alternation.
