FIL: Isang mensahe, balita, o utos na ipinapatala o ipinapasabi sa isang tao upang maiparating sa iba.
EN: Message (to be relayed)
The OG "DM" (Direct Message) before the internet existed. It’s when you tell a friend, "Pakisabi kay ano..." (Please tell so-and-so...). A pasabi is the information that travels through the human-powered network of chismis, office assistants, or your younger sibling who you bribed with candy.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `sabi` (to say).
ROOT MEANING: statement; saying; what was said
Refers to the message itself, not the act of telling. The verb form is `pasabihan`.
