FIL: Ang sadyang pagdanas o pagtiis sa isang kahirapan o pagsubok; harapin ang isang bagay na mahirap.
EN: to endure difficulty; to struggle with something
This is the more obscure verb form of `hirap`. It's like 'harapin' (to face) and 'hirap' (difficulty) had a baby. It means to willingly take on or endure a hardship. While 'mahirapan' is more common (to experience difficulty), 'hirapin' implies a more conscious decision to go through the struggle. Parang pagpili mo sa R-18 na laro, alam mong mahirap, pero hinirap mo pa rin for the challenge.
Mula sa "hirap" + "-in".
ROOT MEANING: difficulty; hardship; poor / difficult
This verb form is quite rare in modern colloquial speech. "Paghirapan", "mahirapan", or "harapin ang hirap" are far more common constructions.
