EN: to agree with; to side with; to support a point
It's like saying "+1" in a group chat or "I second the motion" in a meeting. When your friend has a valid 'hugot' and you totally get it, you makikatig in their sentiment. It's a more formal way of saying you're on the same page.
From `maki-` (social prefix) + `katig` (outrigger, support). The root word `katig` refers to the outriggers of a boat that provide balance and support.
ROOT MEANING: outrigger
More formal than `sumang-ayon`. Often used in debates, legal contexts, or formal discussions.
