EN: to haggle, to ask for a discount
A national sport in the Philippines, especially in the palengke or Greenhills. It's the art of asking "Ma'am, wala na po bang tawad?" (Ma'am, is there no more discount?). If you can tawarin a ₱100 item down to ₱80, you've won the day.
From "tawad" (discount/pardon) + "-in" suffix, object-focused verb.
This is the verb form of 'tawad'. 'Tawarin' is to ask for a discount on a specific item.
