FIL: Hilaing mabuti upang umunat o humaba. Ito ay isang di-karaniwang varyant ng salitang "banatin".
EN: to pull or stretch something out (variant of banatin)
This is like the less popular sibling of the word "banatin." They both mean to stretch something, like when you try to make your sweldo last until the 30th. It's pulling and hoping for the best. While most people say "banatin," using "banasin" is like ordering a "Coke float" instead of a "Coke McFloat"—people might understand you, but they'll know you're a little different.
From root 'banat' (stretch) + '-in' suffix. A less common conjugation compared to 'banatin'.
'Banatin' is the more standard and widely used term. 'Banasin' may be encountered in some dialects or older texts but is generally considered non-standard.
