EN: please greet/say hi to someone for me
The classic Filipino social proxy move. When you see a friend who's going to see another friend, you say "Pabati kay [name]!" It’s the verbal equivalent of a forwarded message or a social CC. It's how you maintain social connections without actually being there. The ultimate low-effort, high-impact social gesture.
ROOT MEANING: greeting; reconciliation
Used as a standalone phrase or within a sentence. It's a request.
