EN: to borrow from
This is the person you run to when you're 'petsa de peligro' and need to borrow some cash. 'Uy, bes, pwedeng **kahiraman** muna ng pang-Grab? Bawi ako sa sahod.' It's the source of your temporary relief (or future utang na loob).
From the structure ka- + hiram (borrow) + -an, indicating a locative or referential focus, i.e., the person/place from whom something is borrowed.
ROOT MEANING: borrowed
The '-an' suffix turns the verb into a locative form, indicating the person or place *from which* something is borrowed. Not to be confused with 'hiraman' which can mean 'to borrow something for someone'.
