EN: to finish off; to kill
The command to make someone 'utas'. This is the classic line of the Pinoy movie kontrabida to his goons. 'Utasin niyo ang lahat ng sagabal!' It's more dramatic and sinister than just saying 'patayin.' It means to terminate with prejudice, to finish the job completely.
From 'utas' + '-in' suffix.
Primarily used in a violent context, meaning 'to kill.' It carries a strong, often dramatic or cinematic, connotation.
🇵🇭 Ipinag-utos ng masamang hari na utasin ang lahat ng kanyang mga kalaban.
🇺🇸 The evil king ordered to kill all of his enemies.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi kita uutasin dahil lang sa natapon mong kape.
🇺🇸 Don't worry, I won't finish you off just because of the coffee you spilled.
