EN: to make something appear
The ultimate 'sana all' skill. It's what you wish your wallet could do with money during 'petsa de peligro'. Magicians do this with rabbits, ghosts do this in horror movies ('nagpapalitaw'), and your friend who suddenly shows up after someone mentions free food is an expert at this.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) and `litaw` (to appear, to surface).
A causative verb. The subject causes something to appear. Can be used for physical objects, ghosts, or abstract things like feelings. Not to be confused with 'palitaw', the rice cake, though the food is named after the verb 'lumitaw' (to surface/appear) which it does when cooked.
