/ni-ke-LA-hin/
FIL: Lagyan o patungan ng nikel ang isang bagay. Ito ay halos kapareho ng 'nikeladuhin'.
EN: to nickel-plate something
Basically the same as 'nikeladuhin'. It's the command form: 'Go nickel-plate this!' It's a more direct Tagalog construction (root + -hin) compared to the Spanish-derived 'nikeladuhin'. Both mean the same thing: to give something that shiny, protective metal coating.
From 'nikel' + '-hin' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: nickel
Synonym for 'nikeladuhin', though the latter might be slightly more common due to the influence of the adjective 'nikelado'.
