EN: to treat someone
The magic word every Pinoy wants to hear: "Libre kita!" This verb is the action of making that happen. When your rich tita from the US comes home, you hope she'll "palibrihin" the whole clan at a buffet. It's the act of treating someone, usually to food or a movie. The opposite of "KKB" (kanya-kanyang bayad).
From 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'libre' (free, from Spanish 'libre') + '-hin' (object-focus suffix).
The object of the verb is the person being treated. "Palibrihin mo ako" (Treat me).
🇵🇭 Palibrihin mo naman ako ng sine, kaarawan ko ngayon!
🇺🇸 Treat me to a movie, it's my birthday today!
🇵🇭 Dahil nanalo siya sa lotto, nangako siyang palibrihin ang lahat ng kanyang kaibigan.
🇺🇸 Because he won the lottery, he promised to treat all his friends.
