EN: loyal customer; regular patron
Your 'suki' is your go-to person at the palengke who gives you the freshest fish, the best price, and the latest chismis. It's a two-way relationship: you're their loyal customer, and they're your trusted vendor. In the modern world, your 'suki' could be your favorite coffee shop where they know your order by heart, or your Grab driver who you always get matched with. "Suki, tawad naman!" is the national anthem of market-goers.
From Hokkien Chinese 熟客 (si̍k-kheh), meaning "familiar guest" or "regular customer".
This term is central to Filipino market culture and implies a relationship of trust and mutual benefit between a buyer and a seller.
