EN: please tell; please say
The ultimate 'pasuyo' (favor) starter pack. It's the polite way to turn someone into your personal messenger. 'Pakisabi kay mama...' is how many epic sagas of errands begin. It's the verbal equivalent of forwarding a message.
From paki- (prefix for polite requests) + sabi (say/tell).
