EN: to let someone live/reside; to provide lodging
When your friend from the province needs a place to crash in Manila while job hunting. 'Bes, pwede bang **magpatira** muna for one week lang? Promise, maghahanap ako agad ng work.' Three months later, he's still there.
From 'tira', to reside or live.
ROOT MEANING: to live; to reside; to stay
This meaning comes from the root word 'tira' (to live/reside). It is distinct from 'tira' (leftover) and 'tira' (to hit/shoot). Context is key.
