What Pinoys do at every party, fiesta, or just when a good song comes on the radio. From the traditional tinikling to the latest TikTok challenge, we're always sumasayaw. It's the present tense of busting a move. "Tingnan mo si Tito, sumasayaw na naman ng 'Otso-Otso'."
From sum- (actor-focus infix) + sayaw (dance), with reduplication of the first syllable (sa-) to indicate progressive aspect.
