EN: to endure something together; to make do with something
This is the ultimate 'tiis-ganda' or 'kapit-bisig' verb. It's when you and your officemates have to share the weak office Wi-Fi, or when a couple has to make do with a tiny studio apartment in the city. 'Pag-agwantahan na muna natin 'to.' It's the patron saint of budget trips and relationships surviving on a shoestring.
From Spanish 'aguantar' (to endure/withstand).
Often used in a shared context, implying mutual endurance or tolerance. The '-han' suffix indicates the object or person being collectively endured.
