EN: to please; to satisfy
This is the action you take to make someone happy or meet their standards, like when you're trying to please your future mother-in-law by washing the dishes without being told. It's the verb form of hitting someone's satisfaction quota. 'Paano ko ba siya masisiyahan?' is the ultimate 'sana all' question.
From 'siya' (satisfaction) + '-han' (benefactive verb suffix).
Often used in the context of pleasing someone or meeting their requirements. Distinct from 'pasayahin' (to make happy), as 'siyahan' implies meeting a specific need or standard.
