EN: to allow oneself to be cheated
When you're playing with your 5-year-old pamangkin and you let them win in a race. That's you, nagpa-daya. Or in a more 'hugot' sense, it's when you know someone is playing with your feelings, but you let them anyway. "Alam ko namang niloloko niya lang ako, pero nag-padaya pa rin ako." Ouch.
The 'pa-' prefix indicates allowing the action of the root word ('daya' - cheat) to happen to oneself. Often used in the form 'magpadaya'.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang padaya sa mga matatamis niyang salita.
🇺🇸 Don't allow yourself to be deceived by his sweet words.
