EN: to make someone surrender
The ultimate goal in any conflict, from a police standoff to arguing with your mom. You want to make the other party wave the white flag. 'Pinapasuko na kita, umamin ka na lang na ikaw umubos ng ulam!' It's about breaking their will to fight, whether through force, logic, or an overwhelming barrage of 'I told you so.'
Causative `pa-` prefix + `suko` (surrender) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
