EN: to pair up; to form a pair
This is the teacher's command that gives you instant anxiety in PE class: 'Okay class, magpareha kayo for the folk dance!' It's the act of finding a partner, whether for a project, a dance, or in the game of love. It’s the verb form of creating a 'love team' or a 'tandem'.
From mag- (verb-forming prefix) + pareha (pair), which is from Spanish 'pareja'.
ROOT MEANING: partner, couple, a pair (of people)
'Magpareha' is often used for functional pairs (dance partners, project partners), while 'magparis' can also mean this but more strongly implies a romantic couple or matched items.
