EN: to charge (an electronic device)
The sacred act of plugging your phone into the wall. The modern-day ritual we perform every night so our digital lives can continue the next day. 'Saan pwedeng maki-charge?' is the question of our generation, and 'tablayan' is the formal verb for it.
From 'tablay' (charge) + '-an' (locative/applicative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: electric charge, potency
This verb is a modern application of an older word, becoming more common with the prevalence of electronic gadgets. 'I-charge' is a more frequent colloquial alternative.
