EN: to reserve; to set aside
This is what your mom does with the 'special' plates and silverware that only come out for fiestas or when a VIP (like the parish priest) visits. It's the act of setting something aside. Parang pag-magtaan ka ng feelings para sa 'the one' kahit marami nang nag-a-apply.
Often used interchangeably with 'maglaan' but 'magtaan' can have a stronger sense of reserving for a specific person or purpose.
