EN: to have something opened
When you're carrying a mountain of groceries and can't open the door yourself, you shout, "Pabukas ng pinto!" That's the command form. The verb for that action is *magpabukas*. "Nagpabukas ako ng pinto kay kuya." It's the act of delegating the 'opening' task.
From `mag-` + `pa-` + `bukas` (open).
ROOT MEANING: open
The meaning is dependent on the pronunciation of the root word 'bukas' as /bu-KAS/, with stress on the last syllable.
