EN: May I have; Give me
The magic word that turns you into a professional food sampler. Ito 'yung linya mo 'pag nakita mong may chichirya 'yung katabi mo: "Pahingi naman!" It's the polite Filipino way of asking for something, which is usually followed by "isa lang" (just one) but never really means just one.
From `pa-` + `hingi` (to ask for/request).
A very common, polite imperative form. Often used with 'po' or 'ho' for politeness.
