FIL: Ang pagpunta sa isang lugar upang hintayin at tanggapin ang pagdating ng isang tao o bagay.
EN: to meet; to welcome; to greet
The act of meeting someone halfway, literally. Like when your GrabFood driver calls and says 'Nandito na po ako sa labas,' and you go out to get your food. You're not just waiting, you're actively going to meet them. It's also what you do for your balikbayan Tita at the airport.
From `salubong`, meaning 'meeting' or 'encounter'. The suffix `-in` makes it a verb indicating an action to be done to an object.
ROOT MEANING: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
Often used in the context of welcoming guests or meeting someone who is arriving.
🇵🇭 Salubungin mo ang iyong mga lolo at lola sa may pintuan.
🇺🇸 Meet your grandparents at the door.
🇵🇭 Huwag nating salubungin ang Bagong Taon nang may sama ng loob.
