EN: to reach; to catch up
That feeling when you're chasing the last jeepney at night and you finally make it—yan ang umabot. Or when your sahod finally *reaches* your bank account after a long, long petsa de peligro. It's the opposite of being 'left behind' by the train, by your crush, or by the latest chismis.
From the root word 'abot' (reach) with the infix '-um-'.
Can refer to physically reaching a place, reaching a certain amount (like a quota), or catching up to someone.
