EN: to cry one's heart out; to cry excessively
That moment after a breakup when you're in your room, listening to a Moira dela Torre playlist on loop, and just letting it all out. It's not just crying; it's an Olympic-level crying event. "Nang iwan siya ng jowa niya, tatlong araw siyang nagpakaiyak-iyak sa kwarto."
From `mag-` + `paka-` + `iyak-iyak` (reduplication of `iyak`). The reduplication signifies repeated or prolonged action.
Emphasizes the intensity and duration of crying.
