EN: to scoop for someone
This is the verb form of Filipino hospitality. When someone says, 'Sandukan mo na ako ng kanin,' it's a sign of closeness. It's what you do for your jowa, your bisita, or your lola. It's a small act of service that says, 'I care about you enough to serve you food.' The ultimate power move is when the host insists on scooping rice for you even after you said you're full.
From 'sandok' + '-an'.
ROOT MEANING: Ladle, serving spoon
A command form would be 'Sandukan mo ako!' (Scoop for me!). The object being scooped is often implied.
