When you're trying to describe movement in Tagalog, especially running, you'll often encounter "takbo." It's a very common verb. Remember that in Tagalog, verbs change depending on when the action happens, so you'll see forms like "tumatakbo" (running now) or "tatakbo" (will run).
You might also hear it used in a slightly different way, like "takbo ng oras" which literally means "running of time" but refers to how time passes. So, while its core meaning is about physical running, it can have broader applications.
