EN: to strengthen
This is what you do to a wobbly table by adding more nails. It's also what you do to a 'M.U.' (Mutual Understanding) by finally asking "What are we?". You're trying to **papagtibayin** the relationship. In a legal sense, it's what Congress does to a bill to make it a law. It's about making things official and solid.
ROOT MEANING: durability; strength; resilience; sturdiness
Can be used for physical objects, relationships, laws, or beliefs. The simpler form 'pagtibayin' is more common in everyday speech.
