EN: to make someone smile
Your life's mission when your friend is going through some major 'hugot'. It's the act of sending memes, telling a corny joke, or buying them milk tea just to see that little curve on their lips. The ultimate goal of a harana or a sweet gesture.
From 'pa-' + 'ngiti' (smile) + '-in' (verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: smile
Differs from 'patawanin' (to make someone laugh). 'Pangitiin' is for a smile, 'patawanin' is for laughter.
