EN: to have someone fetch water
This is a classic probinsya (provincial) command. Before running water was a thing in every house, you'd hear parents telling their kids, "Magpaigib ka na ng tubig sa poso!" It's the act of delegating the chore of fetching water, usually with a "timba" (pail). Today, it might mean "Can you get someone to call the water delivery service?"
From mag- (actor-focus verb prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + igib (to fetch water).
`Mag-igib` is to fetch water yourself. `Magpaigib` is to ask or order someone else to do it.
