EN: to run; to operate; to manage
This is the ultimate "boss" verb. It's what you do to a business you're managing, a machine you're starting, or even that errand boy you're sending to the sari-sari store. "Pa-run mo 'tong report." "Patakbuhin mo na yung aircon." It’s about making things happen, getting things moving, whether it's a multi-million peso enterprise or just your clunky electric fan.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `takbo` (run) + `-hin` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: run, race; course
Can be used literally for a person running or figuratively for managing a business, operating a machine, or even running a political campaign.
