EN: to debate with someone
It's like `makipagbabag` but with rules and (usually) less shouting. This is when you engage someone in a structured argument, whether it's in a school competition, a formal meeting, or a long thread on Facebook about politics or whether pineapple belongs on pizza. The goal is to prove your point using logic and evidence, not just volume.
From `maki-` (social prefix) + `pag-` (action prefix) + `debate` (from Spanish 'debate').
ROOT MEANING: debate
A direct borrowing for the concept of formal debate.
