EN: to light (something)
This is the verb you use when you're asking someone to do the 'sindi'. 'Pakisindihan mo 'yung kandila,' is what you yell during a brownout. It's the specific action of applying fire to something, from lighting the grill for a BBQ party to lighting the gasera because Meralco is at it again.
From 'sindi' + '-han' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: ignition, light, spark
This is a transitive verb, meaning it requires an object. You 'sindihan' *something*.
