EN: act of leaving something behind; setting aside (food)
This is a core Filipino love language. It's when your mom saves you a piece of 'lechon' from the party. 'Salamat sa **pagtira** mo sa akin ng ulam, akala ko naubos na lahat.' It's the opposite of being a 'patay-gutom'.
From `pag-` (verbal noun prefix) + `tira` (leftover/remainder).
ROOT MEANING: leftover; remainder
The stress is on the first syllable of the root: TI-ra. Almost always refers to food.
