EN: Patience; apology
The national currency of Metro Manila traffic and slow internet. It's what you tell your friend when you're 30 minutes late ('Pasensya na, bes, traffic!'). It's both 'patience' and 'sorry,' which is efficient, really. We've combined the virtue and the apology into one word because we need both constantly.
From Spanish 'paciencia' (patience).
Commonly used in the phrase 'Pasensya na' to mean 'I'm sorry' or 'My apologies'. 'Humingi ng pasensya' means 'to ask for forgiveness/patience'.
🇵🇭 Habaan mo ang iyong pasensya sa kanya.
🇺🇸 Lengthen your patience with him.
🇵🇭 Pasensya ka na sa nagawa kong gulo.
