EN: to mention repeatedly; to keep saying
Like a broken record, but for feelings. It's when you can't get someone's name out of your head (and your mouth). "Ano ba'ng meron kay crush at pangalan niya ang **sambit-sambitin** mo?" It's the verbal equivalent of having a song stuck in your head.
From "sambit" (to mention, to utter) with reduplication to indicate repetition.
The "-in" suffix makes it an object-focused verb. The object is the thing being repeatedly said.
🇵🇭 Pangalan ng kanyang yumaong ina ang lagi niyang sambit-sambitin sa kanyang pagtulog.
🇺🇸 He would repeatedly mention his late mother's name in his sleep.
