FIL: Paghiling na sumandal o ipatong ang bigat sa isang bagay o tao para sa suporta.
EN: to ask to lean on; to let oneself lean
The ultimate "pabebe" move or a sign of true exhaustion. When you're sleepy on the bus, you whisper to your friend, "**Pasandal** ha?" before your head lands on their shoulder. It's also that feeling when you're so tired from adulting, you just want to find a wall and go **pasandal** for a minute. It's a request for support, both literally and figuratively.
From `pa-` (request/permissive prefix) + `sandal` (to lean).
ROOT MEANING: to lean on
Can be a gentle request or a description of an action (adverbial).
🇵🇭 Maaari bang pasandal muna sa balikat mo? Inaantok na ako.
🇺🇸 Can I lean on your shoulder for a bit? I'm getting sleepy.
🇵🇭 Umupo siya nang pasandal sa pader dahil sa pagod.
🇺🇸 He sat down, leaning against the wall because of fatigue.
