EN: to remove a part; to take out a portion
If 'awasan' is about reducing the whole (like the price), 'awasin' is about taking the specific part. Think of a cake. "Awasin mo 'yung parte na may cherry" means you're taking that specific slice. It's the action of removing the portion itself, like when HR tells you the exact tax amount na 'aawasin' sa sweldo mo.
ROOT MEANING: overflow; spill
"Awasin" is a verb in the object focus, referring to the specific part or amount being removed. For example, "Awasin mo ang dalawang tasa" (Take out the two cups). Compare with "Awasan mo ang lalagyan" (Take from the container).
