/mag-pa-kin-TAB/
FIL: Ang proseso ng pagpapahid o pagkuskos sa isang ibabaw upang ito ay maging makinis at makintab.
EN: to make something glossy; to polish
If magpakinang is about glitter, magpakintab is about gloss. Think floor polish, shoe shine, or the final buff on a newly detailed car. It's about creating a smooth, reflective surface. It's the verb your dad uses when he tells you to polish your school shoes the night before an event.
From magpa- (causative) + kintab (gloss, sheen).
Almost synonymous with 'magpakinang' but emphasizes a smooth, polished surface (sheen) over a sparkly one (glitter).
