EN: to make someone wait
The national pastime, also known as 'Filipino time.' This is what your friend does when they say 'On the way na!' but they're actually still in the shower. It's the act of causing someone else to wait for you. Whether it's a late doctor, a slow government process, or a perpetually tardy friend, someone is 'nagpapahintay.'
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `hintay` (wait).
Often carries a negative connotation, implying inconsiderateness. The object-focus form is 'paghintayin'.
