ano po ang kahulugan nila at paano sila ginagamit?

Magtakbo, magtalon, magtulog, etc. all sound unnatural to me. If there was a rule for this that was taught in school, I probably forgot. Please educate me

I saw a conversation among two people referring to these terms in a gender neutral manner, one using chinitx and the other using chinite. I know both of these are wrong, at least in filipino given there’s no letter x or silent e. With that said, is there a possible gender neutral term for these words that anyone can think of? Or are they perpetually gendered?

Edit - For those who are commenting, I was aware that these terms were already gendered. I’m just asking for other people’s takes because i saw two people arguing about it damn

Also gender-neutrality isn’t a mental illness or whatever that person commented. Tagalog as a language is already gender-neutral, please don’t bring your bigotry into this

I cant think of another verb, sorry. Based on my knowledge, both sound correct but the second one is correct because the -ng is used as pang-angkop? Is that right?

I’ve seen it used in conversations meaning both fight and date(?)
