EN: to grant a request; to accept an invitation
This is the verb form of that classy invitation. When you 'paunlakan' something, you're graciously saying yes. It's not just "Okay, game." It's "I would be honored to attend." Parang 'pag in-invite ka ng crush mo, you don't just say 'sige', you say "Salamat sa pag-anyaya, siyempre, darating ako!" That's the energy of 'paunlakan'.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `unlak` (consent, favor) + `-an` (referential suffix).
A very formal verb. Used to show respect and grace when accepting an invitation or granting a favor.
