FIL: Ang pag-uutos o paghiling sa isang tao na isara ang isang bagay, tulad ng pinto, bintana, o tindahan.
EN: to have someone close something
This is the command form. When you're comfy in bed and you see the door is open, you yell to your younger sibling, "Hoy, pasarahan mo nga yung pinto!" It's the ultimate 'tamad' or 'boss mode' command.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `sara` (close) + `-han` (locative/benefactive suffix).
ROOT MEANING: to close, to shut
This is a causative command, asking someone else to perform the action of closing. It is different from `pasarhan` (/pa-SAR-han/) due to stress and meaning.
🇵🇭 Pasarahan mo na ang tindahan at gabi na.
🇺🇸 Have the store closed now, it's already night.
🇵🇭 Maaari mo bang pasarahan ang bintana? Lumalamig na.
🇺🇸 Can you please have the window closed? It's getting cold.
