/pa-ti-RA-han/
FIL: Isang lugar na pansamantalang tinitirhan o tinutuluyan, na maaaring may bayad o wala, at kadalasa'y ipinagkaloob ng iba.
EN: lodging; temporary residence
Not quite your forever home. It's the Airbnb, the boarding house, the 'makikitulog muna ako sa inyo' spot. It’s a place to crash, whether you're a BPO agent renting a bedspace near the office or a probinsyano relative staying over for a month. It implies it's a place provided for you to stay in.
From pa- (locative prefix, 'place for') + tira (to live/stay) + -han (locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: to live; to reside; to stay
Distinct from 'tirahan' (residence), as 'patirahan' often implies a more temporary or provided lodging, like a shelter or dormitory.
