EN: side by side
This is how you and your bestie sit while watching a movie, or how jeepney passengers are packed during rush hour. It's the physical representation of 'siksikan'. When you arrange things tabi-tabi, you're putting them right next to each other with no personal space.
Reduplication of 'tabi' (side).
Used to describe the state of being adjacent to one another. Not to be confused with the phrase 'Tabi-tabi po,' which is used to ask permission from supernatural beings.
