EN: act of hugging or embracing
The physical manifestation of 'Sana all.' It's the act of hugging, whether it's a tight hug from your mom after a long day, a quick friendly hug with a barkada, or that *special* hug with your jowa. It's the cure for everything, from a bad day at work to a 'seen-zoned' message.
From `pag-` + `CV` (first syllable repetition) + `yakap` (hug).
ROOT MEANING: hug, embrace
The `pag-CV-` form suggests a more intense, prolonged, or repeated act of hugging compared to the simpler `pagyakap`.
🇵🇭 Ang mahigpit na pagyayakap ng mag-ina ay nagpaiyak sa mga nakakita.
