EN: to make someone crave; to tempt with food
The evil thing your officemate does when they open a box of J.Co donuts while you're on a diet. It's when someone posts a glorious food-porn photo on Instagram with the caption "Kain tayo!" knowing full well you can't. To be 'tinakam' is to suffer from food-induced envy.
From the root word "takam", meaning a craving for food.
The object of the verb is the person being tempted, not the food. "Tinakaman" (past tense) is different from "natatakam" (adjective/state of craving).
