FIL: Ang gawain ng paghithit ng sigarilyo o tabako.
EN: to smoke tobacco/cigarettes
The more formal, almost vintage-sounding way of saying 'to smoke.' You'd imagine your lolo in a rocking chair would magtatabako, not your Gen Z cousin vaping. It’s the verb form of what the sign 'Bawal Manigarilyo Dito' is trying to prevent.
From Spanish "tabaco" (tobacco).
Synonymous with "manigarilyo" (to smoke a cigarette), but "magtatabako" can also specifically refer to smoking a cigar or pipe. "Manigarilyo" is more common in everyday conversation.
