sabay

Sabay is a word found in Philippine languages, notably Filipino (Tagalog) and Cebuano, meaning "at the same time" or "together." In these languages, sabay functions as an adverb describing simultaneity, and it is often reinforced by reduplication to indicate joint action as sabay-sabay. For example, sabay-sabay kaming kumain means "we ate together at the same time." It can also appear in phrases like Sabay na tayo, meaning "Let's go together now."

In everyday use, sabay is versatile for describing actions that occur simultaneously or coordinating activities among people. The reduplicated form sabay-sabay is particularly common to emphasize that multiple participants share the same moment or activity.

In Cambodia, Sabay is used as the name of a digital media company and online portal that provides Cambodian news and entertainment content. The Sabay brand has been associated with online publishing and media in Cambodia, serving as a platform for a range of content tailored to Cambodian audiences.

Beyond its linguistic and corporate senses, sabay may appear in various proper names and everyday expressions across Austronesian-language communities. The term is primarily understood as a marker of simultaneity or togetherness in daily speech, while as a proper noun it denotes a media brand in Cambodia.
