EN: to have a house built
This is the ultimate "adulting" goal. After years of saving up, OFW remittances, and maybe a housing loan that feels like a lifetime commitment, you finally get to magpabahay. It's the act of commissioning a house to be built. Pwede ring government project, like "Pabahay program ni Mayor." It’s literally "to cause a house to exist."
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `bahay` (house).
ROOT MEANING: house, home
Can mean having a house built for oneself, or sponsoring the construction of a house for others (e.g., a government program).
