/pa-tra-BA-ho/
FIL: Isang gawain o proyekto na ipinagagawa o ipinapatupad sa ibang tao, na kadalasan ay may kaakibat na bayad.
EN: a job or task commissioned to someone
This is your 'side hustle' or 'raket.' When your tita asks you to edit a wedding video for her friend, that's a patrabaho. The 'pa-' prefix is key; it means you're *causing* someone to work. It can be legit, like commissioning a carpenter, or... less legit, like a 'hit job' in action movies. Let's stick to the carpentry, okay?
From 'pa-' prefix + 'trabaho' (work), from Spanish 'trabajo'.
ROOT MEANING: work, job, labor
Can also be used as a verb: 'Magpapatrabaho ako ng bagong lamesa.' (I will have a new table made.)
🇵🇭 May patrabaho sa akin si Boss, kailangan kong tapusin bago mag-uwian.
🇺🇸 The Boss gave me a commissioned task; I need to finish it before going home.
🇵🇭 Tumatanggap siya ng mga patrabaho tulad ng pag-aayos ng sirang gamit.
🇺🇸 He accepts commissioned jobs like fixing broken appliances.
