EN: to work hard for; to suffer for
This is the ultimate "no pain, no gain" verb. It's what your parents tell you about getting a diploma, what your gym instructor screams about getting abs, and what you tell yourself about enduring traffic on EDSA just to get to work. Anything worth having, you must **paghirapan**. It's the grind, the hustle, the tiis-ganda of life.
ROOT MEANING: difficulty; hardship; poor / difficult
This is a verb in the object-focus form. "Paghirapan mo 'yan" means "You work hard for that."
