EN: forced; compelled; insisted
That feeling when you're super full but your Tita insists you eat another serving of her spaghetti ("Sige na, tikman mo lang!"). That's being `pinilit`. It's doing something you don't want to do because of external pressure. From finishing your vegetables to smiling for a picture when you're not in the mood, `pinilit` is the verb for reluctant actions. "Pinilit lang po, promise."
Mula sa salitang-ugat na `pilit` (puwersa, paggiit) at gitlaping `-in-` na nagsasaad ng nagdaang kilos sa pokus ng layon.
Past tense, object-focus form of the verb `pilitin` (to force). The actor-focus counterpart is `pumilit` (to insist) or `nagpilit` (insisted).
