EN: to reflect on; to ponder deeply
This is what you do at 3 AM when you can't sleep, thinking about your life choices, that awkward thing you said in 2012, or if you should finally use your leave credits for a beach trip. It's the verb form of 'deep thoughts,' often fueled by coffee, deadlines, or a major life crossroad. 'Bes, pagnilay-nilayin mo muna bago ka mag-resign.'
From `pag-` + `nilay` (contemplation) + `-nilay` (reduplication) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
A command or suggestion to contemplate something carefully. The reduplication `nilay-nilay` emphasizes the depth and duration of the reflection.
