The command you give when your kape is too strong or your life is too bitter. "Patamisin mo, please!" It's the act of adding sugar, honey, or even sweet words to make something more palatable. Like when you're trying to win someone over, you `patamisin` the deal.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tamis` (sweetness) + `-in` (object-focus verbal suffix).
