EN: to do or handle two or more things at the same time
This is the multitasker's anthem. It's when you try to watch your K-drama while finishing your report for your BPO boss. 'Pinag-sabay ko' is the classic excuse. It's about timing things to occur simultaneously, often with chaotic results.
From 'sabay' (together) + '-in' (object focus suffix).
Focuses on the things/actions being done at the same time, whereas 'sabayan' focuses on the person being accompanied.
