EN: To be able to borrow
The magic word you use when you see your friend's new gadget, book, or even their jacket. "Uy, ganda niyan, pwedeng mahiram?" It's the foundation of barkada resource sharing, from ballpens in class to pang-OOTD clothes for a party. Just remember the golden rule: kung ano'ng hiniram, 'yun din ang ibabalik.
From "ma-" (ability prefix) + "hiram" (borrow).
ROOT MEANING: borrowed
The verb "hiramin" is more common for the direct action of borrowing something ("Hiramin ko ang libro mo"). "Mahiram" focuses on the possibility or ability to borrow it.
