FIL: Ang pagpapatawad o paglimot sa kasalanan o pagkukulang ng isang tao.
EN: to forgive
This is the deep, hugot version of the word. When someone messes up badly and they ask you to forgive them, they're asking you to "tawarin" them. It's about letting go of a grudge or a fault. "Mahirap tawarin ang isang kasinungalingan." (It's hard to forgive a lie.)
From "tawad" (discount/pardon) + "-in" suffix, object-focused verb. The concept of "pardon" is extended to forgiveness.
Synonymous with 'patawarin'. 'Tawarin' can sometimes sound a bit more archaic or poetic in this context, with 'patawarin' being more common for "forgive".
🇵🇭 Sana'y tawarin mo ang aking mga pagkakamali.
🇺🇸 I hope you forgive my mistakes.
🇵🇭 Ang kasalanang hindi kayang tawarin ay yaong inuulit-ulit.
🇺🇸 A sin that cannot be forgiven is one that is repeated.
