Think of the Borg from Star Trek, but make it Filipino. "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." That's `sinalikop`. It's a very formal, almost poetic word. You use it when describing how a big company buys out a smaller one, or how one hugot line perfectly `sinalikop` all your feelings about your ex.
