EN: to have one's picture taken
The national anthem of every Pinoy tita at a family gathering: "Uy, palitratuhan mo kami dito sa may halaman!" It's the verb form of our deep-seated need to document everything for the 'gram, from our OOTD to the overpriced coffee we just bought.
From Spanish 'retrato' (portrait, picture).
Another causative verb using the 'pa- ... -an' affix combination. 'Pa-' means to ask someone to do it, '-an' indicates the object or location of the action.
🇵🇭 Gusto kong palitratuhan ang aking bagong gupit.
🇺🇸 I want to have my picture taken with my new haircut.
🇵🇭 "Pwede po bang palitratuhan kami?" tanong ng mga turista.
🇺🇸 "Could you take a picture of us?" the tourists asked.
