EN: to tolerate, to allow, to let be
This is the art of 'live and let live' or sometimes, 'picking your battles.' When your roommate leaves their mess in the sala for the third time, and you just sigh and walk away instead of starting a fight, you're choosing to **pabuyaan** them. It’s a calculated surrender for the sake of peace.
From `pa-` + `buya` + `-an`. The root `buya` is possibly related to giving grace or favor, hence 'to give leeway' or 'to be gracious towards' an action.
Often implies a degree of reluctance or putting up with something undesirable. Synonymous with 'pagbigyan' but can carry a slightly more passive or resigned tone.
