EN: payment, fee, fare
The one word that can either bring you joy (sahod!) or cause you immense stress (bills!). From the "Bayad po!" you shout in the jeepney, to the due date on your Meralco bill, this word runs the Filipino economy. It's the reason you work OT and the reason you can afford that milk tea.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bayaD*.
Can also be used as a verb root (e.g., magbayad, bayaran).
🇵🇭 Nakalimutan kong iabot ang bayad ko sa jeep.
🇺🇸 I forgot to hand over my fare in the jeep.
🇵🇭 Tumaas na naman ang bayad sa kuryente.
🇺🇸 The payment for electricity has increased again.
