EN: for sale item
The magic word you see on Facebook Marketplace for pre-loved items, or on a sign outside a house. It's the official declaration that you're ready to let go of something... for the right price. "Pabenta na 'tong phone, need funds for concert tickets." It's the start of a beautiful (and sometimes frustrating) negotiation process.
From `pa-` (to cause/allow) + `benta` (sale), from Spanish `venta`.
ROOT MEANING: sale, sales
Often used with "for" in English, e.g., "For pabenta". Can be used as a noun ("Ang pabenta ko") or an adjective ("Pabenta itong bahay").
