EN: to send word, to inform through someone
Before group chats and DMs, this was the original 'paki-forward.' It's when you ask a friend, 'Pakisabi kay crush, 'hi'!' or tell your kapatid to tell your mom you'll be late for dinner. It's the analog way of relaying messages, full of potential for 'sabi ni ano...' miscommunications.
ROOT MEANING: statement; saying; what was said
Often used with 'kay' or 'kina' to indicate the recipient of the message. The structure is often: (Actor) magpapasabi (to Person A) na (Message) (to Person B).
