EN: to bring near; to bring closer
This is the verb for closing the distance. 'Paki-lapit 'yung silya' (Please bring the chair closer). It's what you do when you want to hear the chismis better. In a 'hugot' sense, it’s what you wish someone would do, but instead, they 'mag-layo' (move farther away). It's about reducing the space between two points, whether it's chairs, people, or feelings.
This is a transitive verb, meaning it requires an object to be brought closer. Contrast with 'lumapit' (to approach), which is intransitive.
