EN: to reduce from; to give a discount
This is the verb you use when you're haggling at the palengke. "Ate, bawahan mo naman!" (Miss, give me a discount!). It's the act of reducing the price or taking a little bit off the top for someone. It's the financial version of "less is more."
ROOT MEANING: reduction; discount; deduction
Ang 'bawahan' ay nakatuon sa bagay o tao kung saan kinuha ang bawas. Ihambing sa 'bawasin', na nakatuon sa mismong bagay na binabawas.
