FIL: Ang akto ng pagsasangla ng isang mahalagang bagay kapalit ng perang hiniram, o ang bagay mismo na isinangla.
EN: pawn, pledge, collateral
The 'kapit sa patalim' move when petsa de peligro hits you hard and payday is a distant memory. You take your alahas or laptop to a pawnshop (the 'sanglaan') and get cash. The item itself is the **prenda**. You have to pay back the loan to get it back (tubusin), hopefully before it gets auctioned off (maremata).
Mula sa Espanyol na "prenda" (pledge, garment).
The verb form is 'magprenda' (to pawn) or 'iprenda' (to pawn something). The noun refers to the act or the item itself.
🇵🇭 Nasa sanglaan pa ang singsing na ginawa niyang prenda.
🇺🇸 The ring she used as collateral is still at the pawnshop.
🇵🇭 Kinailangan niyang i-prenda ang kanyang cellphone para may pambayad sa upa.
🇺🇸 She had to pawn her cellphone to have money for rent.
