EN: to make someone cry
The specialty of Korean dramas and sad Pinoy movies. It's what happens when you watch Hachiko, read your ex's old messages, or see your phone bill after being on data all month. To magpaluha is to cause tears, whether from sadness, happiness (iyak-tawa), or from chopping onions.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `pa-` (causative prefix) + `luha` (tear).
Can be intentional (like a villain's goal) or unintentional (like accidentally saying something hurtful).
🇵🇭 Huwag kang magsalita ng ganyan, ayokong magpaluha ng tao.
