FIL: Ang pagdaan o paglipas ng panahon.
EN: to pass by (time); to elapse
This is a more poetic way of saying "lumipas." It’s how you describe time slipping away, often with a hint of nostalgia or regret. "Ang bilis tumipas ng panahon, parang kailan lang Pasko." It's the verb for when you're reminiscing about the good old days and wondering where all the years went. It's got that #throwbackthursday vibe.
ROOT MEANING: shortcut
A less common, more literary synonym for "lumipas." Used almost exclusively for the passage of time.
