This describes your journey on the MRT during rush hour, the price of gasoline, and your career path (hopefully!). It's the direction of every hike to a scenic viewpoint. "Uy, **paakyat** 'yung daan, kaya mo pa?" (Hey, the road is **going up**, can you still make it?). It can also describe something on an upward trend, like your data usage near the end of the month.
From `pa-` (directional prefix) + `akyat` (climb, ascend).
ROOT MEANING: climb, ascent, increase
Can function as an adverb modifying a verb (e.g., `tumatakbo paakyat`) or as an adjective describing a noun (e.g., `daang paakyat`).
