EN: farmland; fields
If 'bukid' is the general countryside, 'bukirin' is the specific area where the action happens – the fields themselves. Picture vast expanses of green or gold, depending on the season. It's the view you see from the bus on a long provincial trip. More poetic and specific than 'bukid'.
From `bukid` + `-in` (suffix denoting a place characterized by the root word).
ROOT MEANING: farm; countryside; rural area
While it can mean any farmland, it is most strongly associated with rice paddies. It carries a more literary or pastoral connotation than 'bukid'.
