FIL: Ang pagbibigay ng pagkain sa isang tao, hayop, o anumang nilalang.
EN: to feed
The ultimate act of care, or sometimes, a chore. It's what you do for your pet, your baby, or your jowa who can't cook. 'Pakainin mo na 'yung aso' is a classic household command. It's basically being the GrabFood driver for someone in your own house.
From 'pa-' (causative) + 'kain' (eat) + '-in' (object focus suffix). Literally, "to cause someone to eat".
ROOT MEANING: to eat
This is the object-focus verb form. The subject of the sentence is the one being fed.
