EN: to do a little sewing; to stitch together (figurative)
This is what you do when a button falls off your uniform minutes before a presentation. It's a quick fix. Figuratively, it's what chismosas do best: 'magtahi-tahi ng kwento' means to piece together different bits of gossip to form a (usually scandalous) narrative.
From 'mag-' (verb-forming prefix) + 'tahi-tahi' (reduplication of 'tahi', meaning sewing, implying a small or scattered action).
The reduplication 'tahi-tahi' implies the action is minimal, casual, or done in small bits. Often used figuratively to mean 'piecing together information'.
