FIL: Ilipat ang isang bagay mula sa isang lalagyan, wika, o anyo patungo sa iba.
EN: to transfer; to translate; to pour
This word is a multitasker. You magsalin water from a pitcher to a glass. You magsalin a document from English to Tagalog (translate). A mother can magsalin her knowledge to her child (pass down). It's the OG 'copy-paste' but for liquids, languages, and legacies. It's all about moving something from one container to another, whether that container is a cup, a language, or a generation.
The specific meaning depends heavily on the context (what is being transferred and to where). It can mean to pour, to translate, to copy, or to pass down/on.
