EN: To serve (food, customers); to hit the ball (sports)
A very versatile word. It's what the waiter does with your adobo. It's what Alyssa Valdez does with a volleyball. It's also what you do when you show up to a party with a killer outfit – you "serve" looks. "Ano'ng i-se-serve natin sa bisita?" (What will we serve the guests?) is a question that haunts every Pinoy host.
From English "serve".
A direct loanword from English, commonly used in food service, sports, and increasingly in slang ("serving looks"). Tagalog equivalents are "maghain" (food), "magsilbi" (service), and "pumalo" (sports).
