EN: to make ninety; to divide into ninety parts
The action of making something ninety. Imagine you're counting your coins for pamasahe and you're at 85. 'Siyampuhin ko na 'to para sakto,' you say, as you look for a 5-peso coin. Or when you're dividing a huge task into 90 tiny, soul-crushing sub-tasks for your project management app.
From 'siyampu' (ninety) + '-hin' (object-focus verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: ninety (90)
A rare verb form, but grammatically logical and perfectly understandable. Usually used in contexts of counting, dividing, or reaching a target of 90.
