FIL: Ang pakiusap o utos na ipa-encode o ipa-type ang isang dokumento o teksto sa isang typewriter o kompyuter.
EN: to have (something) typed
The classic Filipino student or employee request: 'Bes, pa-type naman nito, please?' It's the act of asking someone else to do the typing for you, whether it's for your thesis, a report, or just a quick email. The direct ancestor of 'pa-encode'.
A Taglish coinage from the Filipino causative prefix "pa-" (to ask/cause someone to do something) and the English word "type".
ROOT MEANING: type; preference (in a person)
A colloquial and very common verb in offices and schools. It's a perfect example of code-switching becoming a standard word in informal and semi-formal contexts.
