FIL: Gamitin ang isang materyales bilang pansahig.
EN: to use as flooring material
This is what you say about the *material* you're using for the floor. If "sahigan" is the *action* of putting the floor *on* the house, "sahigin" is the *decision* on what material to use *as* the floor. "Maganda itong kahoy, pwede nating sahigin." It's a bit deep-cut Tagalog, like a B-side track from a classic OPM band.
ROOT MEANING: floor
The suffix "-in" here denotes using the root word (sahig) as the object or material for an action. This is less common than 'sahigan'.
