EN: to have someone hit/shoot
This is action movie lingo. The kontrabida tells his goons, 'Magpatira kayo ng isa para matakot sila.' (Have one of them shot to scare the others). Not to be confused with asking your friend to stay over. That would be an awkward misunderstanding.
From 'tira', to hit, strike, or shoot.
ROOT MEANING: to hit; to strike; to throw (at)
This is a much more aggressive and less common usage than the 'to reside' meaning. Heavily dependent on a context of conflict or violence.
