EN: to make something sparkle/glitter
This is the more fabulous cousin of 'pakintabin'. While 'pakintabin' is for floors and shoes, 'pakislapin' is for jewelry, Christmas lights, and a beauty queen's eyes. It's adding that extra ✨bling✨ and ✨sparkle✨. Think of it as the verb form of a KiraKira filter.
From pa- (causative prefix) + kislap (sparkle) + -in (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: sparkle
Implies a more intense, glittering shine compared to 'pakintabin'.
