EN: let me hug you; (can I) have a hug
The ultimate "I need comfort" command. It's what you say to your BFF after a bad day, or to your mom when you miss her. It's not asking *for* a hug, but asking *to give* a hug that you also receive. It's a mutual request. "**Paakap** nga, besh. Ang bigat ng araw ko." (Let me hug you, bestie. My day was so heavy.) It's the verbal equivalent of opening your arms.
From `pa-` (request prefix) + `akap` (hug). A contraction of 'paki-akap' or 'pahingi ng akap'.
ROOT MEANING: hug, embrace
A very common, intimate, and often gentle request.
