EN: to joke around with someone
This is the Pinoy love language. It's teasing your friends, exchanging silly jokes, and just generally having a light, fun time with people. It's the opposite of being serious. From the "knock-knock" jokes in the office pantry to the friendly roasting (`asar-talo`) with your barkada. Just be careful not to take it too far, or it might turn into `makipag-away`.
From `maki-` (social prefix) + `pag-` (action prefix) + `biro` (joke) + `-an` (locative/reciprocal suffix).
ROOT MEANING: joke
Implies a friendly, light-hearted, and mutual exchange of jokes.
