EN: The act of collecting (liquid); receiving salary
Can mean two things. First, it's literally catching something, like using a 'balde' (pail) to catch rain from a leaky roof ('pagsahod ng ulan'). Second, and more importantly for 99% of Pinoys, it's PAYDAY. The glorious act of receiving your salary. That magical time of the month when you feel rich for about 12 hours before all the bills come for it.
ROOT MEANING: to catch (falling liquid); to collect
The meaning is highly contextual. 'Pagsahod ng ulan' is catching rain. 'Araw ng pagsahod' is payday.
🇵🇭 Naglagay siya ng balde para sa pagsahod ng tubig-ulan.
🇺🇸 She placed a pail for catching the rainwater.
🇵🇭 Tuwing araw ng pagsahod, laging puno ang mga restoran.
🇺🇸 Every payday (day of receiving salary), the restaurants are always full.
