EN: to have (someone) sign
This is the other half of the "papirma" saga. If 'papirmahan' is about the document, 'papirmahin' is about the person you need to hunt down to sign it. "Sino ba ang dapat nating papirmahin para dito?" (Who should we get to sign this?). You need to papirmahin your parents on your report card. You need to papirmahin the barangay captain for your permit. This verb focuses on the *person* doing the signing.
From the root word 'pirma' (signature, from Spanish 'firma') and the verbal affix 'pa- -in', indicating the person who is made to do the action.
Focuses on the person who is being asked to sign. Contrast with 'papirmahan'.
