EN: to entrust something to someone
This is the ultimate "bahala ka na diyan" move, but with more responsibility. It's what your mom does before she leaves for the palengke: "Huwag mong kalimutan pakainin yung aso, hugasan mo yung plato, at 'wag kang mag-add to cart!" You're the one being left with the 'habilin'.
From "pag-" (prefix) + "habilin" (instructions, thing entrusted) + "-an" (locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: parting instruction
The verb form focuses on the person or place *receiving* the instruction or entrusted item. The object being entrusted uses the verb 'ihabilin'.
