EN: please step on; let someone step on
The weird request you make to someone with clean shoes when there's a cockroach. "Paki-patapak nga nitong ipis!" It's the causative command form of 'to step on'. Can also be used figuratively, like asking someone to 'crush' your enemies, but usually, it's about a bug.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tapak` (to step on).
ROOT MEANING: to step on; to tread
Usually used with 'paki-' for politeness (`pakipatapak`). It's asking someone else to do the stepping.
