EN: to go on a date; to have an appointment/rendezvous
The old-school, more formal way of saying 'to go on a date.' It sounds more romantic and less casual than just 'mag-date.' It evokes images of harana and writing love letters. It can also mean a secret meeting or rendezvous, like what spies or lovers in a telenovela do.
From makipag- (social verb prefix) + tipan (agreement, covenant, date).
ROOT MEANING: covenant
Has a more formal, sometimes romantic, and slightly archaic feel compared to the modern loanword 'mag-date.' Can also be used for a secret or important meeting.
