EN: to encourage, to boost morale
This is what your friends do when you're about to have a major presentation, a scary job interview, or confess to your crush. It's the verbal equivalent of a 'You can do it!' meme, a shot of confidence when your inner battery is low. Your barkada hyping you up is the peak 'magpalakas ng loob' moment.
From 'magpa-' (causative prefix) + 'lakas' (strength) + 'ng' (of) + 'loob' (inner self, spirit).
ROOT MEANING: strong; strength, power, loud
A common phrasal verb used to describe providing emotional or mental support. It is formed from the root words 'lakas' (strength) and 'loob' (inner self).
