FIL: Ang akto ng paghithit ng sigarilyo o tabako.
EN: to smoke tobacco
The old-school term for 'yosi break.' Before vaping was a thing, this was the go-to verb. You'd see your lolo sitting on the porch, mananabako, while contemplating the meaning of life or the price of rice. It's more formal-sounding than 'mag-yosi.'
From 'tabako' (tobacco), which is from Spanish 'tabaco'.
A more formal or literary term for smoking. 'Manigarilyo' or 'mag-yosi' are more common in casual conversation.
