EN: please accept; have someone accept
The verbal equivalent of holding out a gift and saying "Here, take it!" It's what you say when you're trying to give someone something, from a simple pasalubong to a project you're delegating. "Patanggap mo naman 'to kay boss." It’s the polite way to make sure something gets received.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tanggap` (accept).
ROOT MEANING: accepted, received
Often used with 'paki-' to be more polite (`pakipatanggap`). It's a causative command, meaning you're asking someone to cause something to be accepted, either by them or a third party.
