EN: to impose on; to levy; to sentence
The adulting word you learn to fear. This is what the BIR does to you (patawan ng buwis), what the judge does to a criminal (patawan ng sentensya), and what your team lead does when you're the only one who knows how to fix the printer (patawan ng extra task). It's the act of placing a burden, a penalty, or a responsibility on someone.
From `pataw` (imposition, something placed on top) + `-an` (locative/object-focus suffix).
Commonly used in legal, financial, and formal contexts.
