EN: invitation
The formal version of "Tara!" or "G?". This is what you get for a wedding, debut, or binyag, usually on fancy paper. In the digital age, it's a Facebook event, a GC add, or a Canva-made e-vite. Receiving a `paanyaya` means someone wants you to be part of their special day... or they need to meet their guest count.
From pa- (causative prefix) + anyaya (to invite).
Can refer to both the act of inviting and the invitation card/message itself. 'Imbitasyon' is a common Spanish-derived synonym.
