EN: to leave something for someone (e.g., food)
The ultimate act of love in a Filipino household. When there's a delicious ulam, someone will shout, '**Ipagtira** n'yo si bunso!' which means 'Save some for the youngest!' It's the direct opposite of the tragic 'naubusan ka' (you missed out). This verb is the foundation of family food dynamics.
ROOT MEANING: leftover; remainder
Most commonly used for food, but can also be used for other resources. It's a benefactive verb indicating something is saved for someone else.
