EN: to make worse; to corrupt; to make someone feel bad
This is what happens when you try to "fix" something and only make it worse. Or when a 'marites' (gossiper) adds their own spicy details to a story, they **pasamain** the situation. It can also mean to make someone look bad or feel bad intentionally. "Huwag mo akong **pasamain** sa harap ng boss." (Don't make me look bad in front of the boss.)
ROOT MEANING: bad; evil; wrong
A versatile word. Can refer to worsening a situation, a person's character, or a person's reputation/feelings. The 'pa-' prefix causes the action, and '-in' makes 'sama' (bad/evil) the result.
