EN: to have something made or done
"Pagawa" is your go-to phrase when you need something done but you can't (or won't) do it yourself. "Pagawa ako ng assignment." "Pagawa ng duplicate key." It's the magic word for outsourcing your life, from school projects to getting your phone fixed.
From root `gawa` (do, make) with the causative prefix `pa-`.
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
This is a command or request form. The object of the verb is the thing to be made or done. Often used in its inflected form `ipagawa`.
