EN: to utter, to say, to express in words
This is the more formal, almost dramatic way of saying "to say something." 'Yung moment na aamin ka na kay crush, you gather all your courage para salitain ang "mahal kita." It's not just talking; it's *uttering* something significant.
From 'salita' (word) + '-in' suffix.
Often used in formal or literary contexts. It is the object-focus form, where the thing being said is the object.
🇵🇭 Mahirap salitain ang mga bagay na matagal mo nang kinikimkim.
🇺🇸 It's hard to utter the things you've kept inside for so long.
🇵🇭 Ano ba ang gusto mong salitain?
🇺🇸 What is it that you want to say?
