EN: To refuse; to turn someone down
Ito yung ultimate 'seenzone' move sa personal. Inimbita ka sa birthday, pero bigla kang nagka-ubo. Niyaya kang mag-date, pero 'may gagawin ka.' Kapag ayaw mo, pero ayaw mong maging prangka, you pahindian them. It's the art of saying no without saying no, but they get the message anyway.
From `pa-` + `hindi` (no) + `-an` (verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: no; not
Carries a nuance of turning someone down in a social context, rather than just a simple negation.
