FIL: Pukawin o paganahin ang pagtibok o pagpintig, karaniwan ay tumutukoy sa puso.
EN: to make (it) beat
This is the ultimate goal of every harana, K-Drama marathon, or a well-timed "good morning" text. You want to make someone's heart beat faster. "Siya lang ang may kakayahang **patibukin** muli ang puso kong sawi." It's the verb form of kilig.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tibok` (beat) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: beat; pulse; throb
Almost exclusively used in the context of a heart, either literally (in a medical sense) or figuratively (in a romantic sense).
