EN: to patch together; to piece together
This is what you do with your budget before 'petsa de peligro'—you magtagni-tagni whatever cash you have left. It's also how you build a story to your parents about why you came home late, piecing together different 'facts'. Literally, it's what lola does to make a quilt (a 'tagpi-tagping kumot').
mag- (verb affix) + tagni-tagni (reduplication of 'tagni', meaning a small piece or patch)
Can be used literally for sewing/crafts or figuratively for putting together disparate pieces of information, resources, or ideas.
