EN: to have (a document/place) signed
Ah, the life of every student, employee, or anyone dealing with Philippine bureaucracy. This is the verb for getting something signed. Your clearance form? Papirmahan mo sa lahat ng department. Your excuse letter? Papirmahan mo sa nanay mo. This verb focuses on the *thing* or *place* being signed. "Saan ko ba 'to papirmahan?" is a question that echoes in government offices everywhere.
From the root word 'pirma' (signature, from Spanish 'firma') and the verbal affix 'pa- -han', indicating the location or object of the action.
Focuses on the object or location being signed. Contrast with 'papirmahin', which focuses on the person signing.
