EN: to argue; to debate
This is what happens when you bring up politics at a family reunion. It's the verbal version of a boxing match, where you exchange points (or insults) instead of punches. From a petty argument over who pays the bill, to a formal debate, this is the word. It's the national sport on social media comment sections.
From makipag- (social verb prefix) + talo (lose). Interestingly, it means 'to engage in an activity where one might lose (an argument),' not 'to lose together.'
Can range from a friendly debate to a heated argument. The intensity depends on the context and tone.
