EN: to have someone accompany (someone else)
When your mom won't let you go out alone at night, she'll tell your kuya, "**Pasamahan** mo ang kapatid mo!" It's the official Filipino "buddy system" command. You're not just asking someone to go *with* you, you're asking a third party to *make* someone accompany another.
ROOT MEANING: to go with; to accompany
The 'pa-' prefix indicates a request, and the '-an' suffix indicates the person to be accompanied.
🇵🇭 Ina, maaari po bang pasamahan ninyo ako kay kuya papuntang palengke?
🇺🇸 Mother, could you please have big brother accompany me to the market?
