FIL: Ang pagdalaw o pagpunta sa kinaroroonan ng isang tao o lugar.
EN: to visit someone (at their place); to drop by
This is the verb form you use when you're asking a friend to come over. "Uy, *pasyalan* mo naman ako dito sa condo, may bagong luto si Mama!" It's an invitation. It has a slightly more casual, "drop by" feel than the more formal `bisitahin`.
From `pasyal` + `-an` (locative/benefactive suffix).
ROOT MEANING: a stroll, a short trip, an outing
This verb form focuses on the location or the person at the location being visited. It's different from `pasyalin` (to visit *someone/something*) and `pasyalan` (the noun, a place).
