FIL: Ang kilos ng pagbibigay ng tapang o lakas ng loob sa isang tao.
EN: to make (someone) brave; to embolden
What a shot of liquor is supposed to do before you confess your feelings. Or the pep talk your best friend gives you before a job interview. It's the act of instilling courage, whether through words, actions, or a little liquid courage. "Bes, patapangin mo ako, aamin na ako sa kanya!"
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tapang` (bravery) + `-in` (object-focus verbal suffix).
ROOT MEANING: bravery; courage; fortitude
Object-focus verb. The object is the person being made brave. Can also mean 'to make something stronger' in taste, like a soup or sauce, by adding more 'tapang' (potency/strength of flavor).
