FIL: Isang pagtitipon para sa pagdarasal, karaniwang para sa isang yumaong miyembro ng pamilya o para sa isang espesyal na intensyon.
EN: a prayer gathering; a novena
This is the traditional Filipino prayer session, usually for nine days (pasiyam) after someone passes away. It's a mix of solemn prayer, community gathering, and, let's be honest, lots of food (merienda). It’s where Tita Marites gets all the latest chismis while reciting the rosary.
The 'pa-' prefix here indicates "to cause" or "to have something done," so 'padasal' means to have prayers said. It can refer to the event itself.
🇵🇭 Nag-organisa ang pamilya ng isang padasal para sa ikasiyam na araw ng pagkamatay ng kanilang lola.
