EN: to cause to become thin/emaciated
This is what happens to your wallet before payday. It's what stress, heartbreak, or a really bad diet does to a person. To be affected by something that **causes you to become thin** is to be pinangayayat. It's the opposite of "pinataba ng pag-ibig" (made fat by love).
From `pang-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root (`pa-` from `payat`) + `payat` + `-in`.
This is a causative verb. It implies an external force or reason causing the thinness. The actor-focus form is 'mangayayat' (to become thin).
🇵🇭 Huwag kang mag-alala nang sobra, baka ka lang pangayayatin niyan.
🇺🇸 Don't worry too much, that might just cause you to become thin.
🇵🇭 Ang sakit ang nagpangayayat sa kanya.
🇺🇸 The illness is what made him emaciated.
