EN: to exchange news with each other
This is the OG "spill the tea" session. It's the act of catching up with friends, family, or the neighborhood 'Maritess' to exchange the latest chismis or life updates. Before group chats, there was `magkabalitaan` over the bakod (fence).
From 'magka-' (reciprocal action prefix) + 'balita' (news) + '-an' (reciprocal action suffix).
Implies a mutual, reciprocal exchange of information, not just one person reporting to another.
🇵🇭 Tawagan mo ako mamaya para magkabalitaan tayo.
🇺🇸 Call me later so we can update each other.
🇵🇭 Mahalaga sa magkakalayong magkapatid ang palaging magkabalitaan.
🇺🇸 It's important for siblings who are far apart to always exchange news with each other.
