EN: to hook together; to link arms
"Pinky swear" but for your arms. Magkawit is to link arms, like what you do with your bestie while walking through the mall. It's also used literally, like hooking a trailer to a car. It's a gesture of closeness, support, or simply making sure your friend doesn't run off to another ukay-ukay stall without you.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'kawit' (hook).
Most commonly used in the phrase 'magkawit-bisig' (to link arms).
