FIL: Isang tao na ang propesyon o trabaho ay ang pagtahi o paggawa ng mga damit.
EN: tailor, seamstress
The OG life-saver when your pants are too long, your uniform needs fixing, or you need a custom-made gown for JS prom. They are the wizards who can turn a piece of cloth into a work of art with just a sewing machine and a thread. Before Zara and H&M, there was the neighborhood mananahi.
From 'maN-' + 'tahi' (sew), where the 'N' assimilates and the first syllable of the root is repeated.
A gender-neutral term, but 'modista' is often used for a female fashion designer/dressmaker and 'sastre' for a male tailor, especially for suits.
