EN: to insist; to persist
This is peak Pinoy hospitality in reverse. It's your tita telling you 'Kain pa!' for the 5th time, and you finally give in. It's you trying to fit into your pre-pandemic jeans. It’s the energy of insisting, whether it's for someone to eat more or for yourself to finish that last-minute report. It's the art of 'kulit' but with a goal.
Can have a positive connotation (persistence) or a negative one (being pushy).
