EN: Head over heels; completely smitten
This is that level of crush where you'd willingly go through Manila traffic on a payday Friday just to see them for 5 minutes. You're so into them, your brain cells have stopped functioning normally. You're 'patay na patay', and your friends are tired of hearing about it. It can also mean 'completely dead,' but that's less romantic.
Reduplication of 'patay' (dead) for emphasis, used figuratively for intense emotion.
The meaning (love vs. literally dead) is highly dependent on context. 'Patay na patay si Maria kay Juan' means she's in love. 'Patay na patay ang ipis' means the cockroach is very, very dead.
🇵🇭 Halata sa mga ngiti niya na patay na patay siya sa kanyang kasintahan.
🇺🇸 It's obvious from her smiles that she is head over heels for her boyfriend.
🇵🇭 Siguraduhin mong patay na patay ang apoy bago umalis ng kampo.
🇺🇸 Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving the camp.
