EN: to allow oneself to be enslaved; to cause someone to be enslaved
This is the ultimate 'martyr' move. It's when you let someone treat you like their personal assistant, driver, and ATM, all rolled into one, without a single complaint. It's letting your boss give you their weekend work or letting a toxic friend walk all over you. 'Huwag kang magpaalila sa pag-ibig!' is a classic line for a reason.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `alila` (slave, servant).
Can be reflexive (to allow oneself to be enslaved) or causative (to cause another to be enslaved).
