EN: is frying
The sound and smell of a Filipino household in the morning. Someone is always nagpiprito—whether it's hotdog, itlog, or tuyo. It's the official cooking method of the 'silog' breakfast empire. Similar to 'nagpiplantsa', the 'pr' blend means you just repeat the 'p' with an 'i'.
From Spanish 'frito' (fried).
ROOT MEANING: fried
Present progressive tense. For root words starting with consonant blends like 'pr', the first consonant and 'i' are prefixed (nag-pi-).
