EN: to do many things all at once
This is 'sabayin' on steroids. It's not just two things, it's a whole laundry list. This is you trying to cook, clean, answer emails, watch the baby, and plan your weekend getaway all in one go. The battle cry of every super-mom and over-achiever.
From reduplicated 'sabay-sabay' + '-in' suffix.
Implies doing multiple (more than two) things at the same time. It has a stronger sense of being overwhelmed or being very busy.
