EN: to have something sewn
When you buy tela from Divisoria and bring it to a sastre or modista to be turned into a gown for a wedding or a suit for graduation. It's commissioning someone else to do the sewing for you. A classic Pinoy life hack before the rise of fast fashion. "Ma, **patahi** tayo ng bagong bestida para sa fiesta!"
From `pa-` (causative/commissioning prefix) + `tahi` (sew).
This is a causative verb form indicating that the subject is causing or commissioning the action of sewing to be done by someone else.
