FIL: Isang lugar o pagawaan kung saan isinasagawa ang pananahi o paggawa ng mga kasuotan.
EN: tailor shop; dressmaker's shop
The magical place where your 'patahi' dreams come true. It's the workshop of a mananahi or sastre, usually filled with the sound of a sewing machine, colorful threads, and fabric scraps. The OG source of custom-fit outfits before online shopping and 'add to cart.'
From `pa-` + `tahi` (sew) + `-an` (locative suffix), literally 'a place for having things sewn'.
The suffix '-an' here denotes a place. Compare with 'kainan' (eating place) from 'kain' (eat).
