EN: to send someone to school; to finance someone's education
This is the ultimate Filipino parent goal. It's when you work multiple jobs, maybe even go abroad as an OFW, just to 'papag-aralin' your kids. You are causing them to be able to study. It’s the verb form of every parent’s favorite line: “Edukasyon lang ang maipapamana ko sa’yo.”
ROOT MEANING: to study, to learn
A very common causative verb that holds significant cultural weight in the Philippines, emphasizing a benefactor's role in a person's education. Often used interchangeably with the simpler 'pag-aralin'.
