EN: to let something improve; to wait for a better condition
This is the verb of strategic waiting. When you're sick, you `nagpapainam` ng pakiramdam (wait to feel better). When the weather is bad, `magpainam` muna tayo ng panahon bago umalis. In relationships, sometimes you need to `magpainam` muna ng sitwasyon before talking about a problem. Give it space. Let it breathe.
From mag- (actor-focus verb prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + inam (goodness, fineness, quality).
ROOT MEANING: fineness; goodness; excellence
`Magpainam` is often used for situations, feelings, or weather. It implies waiting for a natural improvement. `Painamin` means to actively improve something.
