FIL: Isang sitwasyon ng palitan o pagkakaloob sa isa't isa; ang diwa ng pagtutulungan at pag-unawa kung saan ang bawat panig ay handang magparaya o magkaloob.
EN: mutual giving; reciprocity; give and take
This is the secret to a long-lasting relationship, a peaceful group project, and surviving Metro Manila traffic. It's "give and take." You let a car merge, hoping someone lets you merge later. You wash the dishes today, your partner cooks tomorrow. Without pagbibigayan, everything is just "siraan" and "lamangan."
From `pag-` + `bi-` (reduplication) + `bigay` + `-an` (reciprocal action suffix).
ROOT MEANING: gift; something given
The `-an` suffix here implies a reciprocal or mutual action between two or more parties. It's different from `pagbibigay` (the act of one person giving).
🇵🇭 Kailangan ang pagbibigayan sa isang samahan upang ito'y magtagal.
🇺🇸 Reciprocity is needed in a relationship for it to last.
🇵🇭 Nagkaroon ng gulo dahil walang pagbibigayan sa pila.
🇺🇸 Chaos erupted because there was no give and take in the queue.
