EN: to grant a request; to oblige
This is a very formal and polite word. It's what VIPs, celebrities, or your highly respected Tito do. When someone asks you to sing at a wedding and you say yes, you are "nagpaunlak". "Salamat po sa **pagpapaunlak** sa aming paanyaya," (Thank you for granting our invitation) is the classic line from event hosts. It’s basically a fancy "yes" to a request.
From `magpa-` (permissive prefix) + `unlak` (acceding to a request). The root word `unlak` is rarely used on its own.
A formal term often used in the context of invitations, requests for performance, or special appearances.
🇵🇭 Muli, maraming salamat sa pagpapaunlak sa aming munting salu-salo.
🇺🇸 Again, thank you very much for gracing our small get-together.
🇵🇭 Sana ay magpaunlak ang sikat na mang-aawit na kantahan kami.
🇺🇸 We hope the famous singer will oblige us with a song.
