EN: to make something bitter
This is what you do when you want to sabotage the sinigang because your sibling hogged the last piece of liempo. "Ay, nasobrahan yata ng ampalaya, pinait ko eh." It's the act of adding bitterness, whether to food or to someone's previously happy mood.
From `pait` (bitter) + suffix `-in`.
Can be used literally for food or figuratively for experiences or feelings.
