EN: to make someone eager; to excite
This is what teasers for the next Marvel movie or the '12.12 sale' notifications from Shopee do to you. They sabikin you. It's the act of making someone feel excited and impatient for something to happen. 'Huwag mo akong sabikin sa wala!' (Don't get my hopes up for nothing!) is a classic 'hugot' line.
From 'sabik' (eager) + '-in' (causative suffix).
It's a causative verb, meaning it's about causing the emotion of 'sabik' in someone else.
