EN: expression of sympathy; condolence
It's more than just saying "condolence." It's showing up. It's the act of being physically or emotionally present for someone who is grieving. It's bringing food to a wake (burol), giving a hug, or just sitting in silence with a friend who's going through a tough time. It's the Filipino value of `damayan` in action—you feel with them.
From pakiki- (participation/sharing in) + ramay, a variant of damay (to sympathize, share in sorrow).
Primarily used in the context of death and grieving, but can also be used for other forms of suffering or loss.
