EN: To inform
The action version of "pasabi". This is what your team lead does when they "cascade" new instructions. It's the polite way of saying "to give someone a heads-up," but it can also be a warning, like when your friend says, "Pasabihan mo ako kung parating na 'yung terror prof!" (Tell me if the terror prof is coming!).
From `pa-` (causative) + `sabi` (say) + `-han` (locative/benefactive suffix).
ROOT MEANING: statement; saying; what was said
This is an object-focus verb. The person being told is the grammatical object.
