FIL: Ang pag-uutos o pag-aatas sa isang tao na isagawa ang isang gawain.
EN: to make someone do something; to assign a task to someone
Similar to "pagawa," but the focus here is on the person you're making do the work. "Pagawin mo si bunso ng tsaa." (Make the youngest sibling make tea.) It’s the verb for delegation, whether you're a manager at work or the Ate/Kuya at home. You're not just having something done; you're specifically making *someone* do it.
From root `gawa` (do, make) with the causative prefix `pa-` and the object-focus suffix `-in`.
ROOT MEANING: work; deed; act; creation
The object of this verb is the person being commanded to do the action.
