EN: to invite; to persuade to come along
This is the 'Tara, sama ka!' verb. It's when you try to convince your friend to join you, whether it's for a coffee run, a road trip, or to help you move furniture. It's a low-pressure invitation, less formal than 'anyayahan'. It's the 'budol' before the actual 'budol'.
Often used in an imperative or object-focus form. The root word 'yakag' means an invitation or act of persuasion.
