/sa-pu-wer-SA-han/
FIL: Isang paraan ng paggawa ng isang bagay na ginagamitan ng lakas, puwersa, o pamimilit, at labag sa kalooban ng iba.
EN: forcibly, by force
Think of your mom making you clean your room, or a security guard escorting a rowdy customer out. That's sapuwersahan. It's the 'you have no choice' move. Sa office, ito 'yung 'mandatory' team building na ayaw mo namang puntahan. It's done by force, whether physical or through sheer authority.
From 'sa' + 'puwersa' (force, from Spanish 'fuerza') + '-han'.
Can also be used as an adjective (e.g., 'sapuwersahang pagkuha' - forced taking).
🇵🇭 Sapuwersahan siyang isinakay sa kotse ng mga dumukot sa kanya.
