EN: forgiveness, pardon
This is the emotional counterpart to haggling. Instead of asking for a lower price, you're asking for or giving a lower sentence for an emotional debt. It's the act of letting go of a grudge, saying 'I forgive you' (or hoping to hear it). It's much harder than getting a discount in Divisoria and the price is your pride.
This usage is less common than 'pagpapatawad' or 'kapatawaran' for 'forgiveness'. It is often understood through context, especially when paired with words like 'kasalanan' (sin) or 'pagkakamali' (mistake). The phrase 'paghingi ng tawad' (the act of asking for forgiveness) is very common.
🇵🇭 Ang tunay na pagtawad ay nagmumula sa puso.
🇺🇸 True forgiveness comes from the heart.
🇵🇭 Mahalaga ang pagtawad upang maghilom ang mga sugat ng nakaraan.
🇺🇸 The act of forgiving is important for the wounds of the past to heal.
