FIL: Sumama o gawin ang isang bagay kasama ang isa pa. Magsagawa ng kilos na kasabay ng kilos ng iba.
EN: to do something with someone; to accompany
This is the ultimate 'sana all' verb. When your friend starts singing videoke off-key, you sabayan them out of solidarity (or to drown them out). It's the 'I'll go with you' when your crush decides to get milk tea. It's doing something *together* with someone else.
From 'sabay' (together) + '-an' (locative/directional suffix).
Often implies doing an action alongside or in sync with someone else, not just physically accompanying them.
