EN: was rationed
This is a very corporate or BPO term. When your boss says the budget for the team outing was 'naratio', it means you're getting a small bag of chips instead of a buffet. It's the polite way of saying 'your request has been denied due to budget constraints' or 'hinati-hati na, 'wag ka nang umangal.'
Taglish, from the prefix na- (indicating passive voice, past tense) + English word 'ratio'. The more traditional Tagalog word is 'nirasyon'.
ROOT MEANING: ratio
Primarily used in business or office settings. A clear example of code-switching becoming a standard term in certain environments.
