EN: to have someone open something
The magic word you use when the 'garapon' of peanut butter is too tight, the door is stuck, or you're too lazy to get up and open the window. It's the ultimate act of delegation for opening things. "Hoy, bunso, pabukas nga nitong bote ng ketchup!"
From 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'bukas' (to open).
ROOT MEANING: open
A command or request form. The full form would be something like 'Maaari bang pabukas...?' (Can you please open...?).
🇵🇭 Pabukas naman ng pinto, may dala-dala kasi ako.
🇺🇸 Please open the door, as I am carrying something.
🇵🇭 Nag-utos siya sa bata na, 'Pabukas ng bintana para pumasok ang hangin.'
