EN: toast (for drinking); a shot/serving of liquor
This is the battle cry of every tito and tita on a Friday night. It's the act of raising your glass and saying "cheers!" before downing that shot of Emperador or that glass of Red Horse. "Tagay!" is the social glue that binds barkadas together over pulutan and karaoke. It's not just drinking; it's a ritual.
Can also be used as a verb, "tumagay" (to drink/toast), or as an exclamation. The act of sharing one glass among a group is called "tagayan".
