FIL: Ang pagkitil sa buhay ng isang tao, hayop, o halaman; ang paghinto sa paggana ng isang bagay tulad ng ilaw o makina.
EN: To kill; to turn off; to extinguish
The verb form of 'cancel culture' when taken to its most extreme, literal, and illegal conclusion. It's also what you do to the lights before a 'Netflix and chill' session, or what you do to your alarm clock in a fit of rage. Context is everything. 'Gusto kitang patayin... sa pagmamahal' is the cheesy pickup line version.
From 'patay' (dead) + '-in' (object-focus verbal suffix). The user requested 'patayain', a less common variant, so this entry uses the standard form 'patayin'.
A very common verb with both literal (to kill) and figurative (to turn off) meanings. The specific meaning is determined by the object of the verb.
