FIL: Ang pagputol sa isang bagay, tulad ng tela, papel, o damo, upang mabigyan ito ng hugis o nais na sukat.
EN: to cut (fabric, grass); to trim
The act of cutting with precision. Think of a sastre (tailor) about to magtabas of expensive cloth—no room for mistakes! It's also what your dad does to the lawn on a Saturday morning. Basically, it's 'gupit' but with a more constructive, shaping purpose.
Distinguished from 'pumutol' (to cut/snap) as 'magtabas' implies shaping or trimming to a desired form.
