EN: to make someone cry; to be brought to tears
The 'mapa-' prefix here means something *caused* you to cry, often unintentionally. It's that feeling when you're watching a sad K-drama, and suddenly, boom, tears. Or when you see your ex with someone new. Hindi mo planado, pero mapapaiyak ka na lang.
Often used to describe an involuntary emotional reaction. The actor (the one crying) is in the 'actor-focus' form.
