EN: to play cards
What Filipinos do during a wake (`lamay`), a family reunion, or just to kill time on a lazy afternoon. To `magbaraha` is to break out a deck of cards. It could be a friendly game of 'tong-its' with your titos, 'pusoy dos' with your barkada, or 'solitaire' when you're bored at home. Just be ready for the 'daya' accusations and the flying tsinelas if the stakes get too high.
From Spanish "baraja" (deck of cards).
A general term for playing any game that involves a deck of playing cards.
