EN: to tag along, to follow behind
That awkward moment when you leave the mall at the same time as a stranger and you're both walking in the same direction, so you slow down para hindi isipin na **pabuntot** ka. It can also mean 'to tag along,' like your younger sibling who always wants to come with you and your friends.
From `pa-` (prefix indicating action or manner) and `buntot` (tail). Literally, 'to act like a tail'.
Often used as 'pabuntot-buntot' to mean 'always tagging along'. Can also be a causative verb, e.g. `ipabuntot` (to have someone followed).
🇵🇭 Huwag kang laging pabuntot sa ate mo, matuto kang mag-isa.
🇺🇸 Don't always tag along with your older sister, learn to be independent.

🇺🇸 I want to tag along with you guys to Baguio, can I?
