EN: to cut down (a plant stalk)
The OG way of harvesting. Before you get your Dole bananas neatly packed in plastic, someone had to cut down (tibain) the whole plant stalk with a giant bolo knife. It's a swift, decisive chop at the base. It’s what you do to a banana plant to get its fruit, or to sugarcane to make sugar. Think of it as a very specific, agricultural 'Timber!'
From 'tiba' (to cut stalk) + '-in' (object-focus suffix).
Primarily used in an agricultural context for plants like banana trees and sugarcane.

🇵🇭 Kailangan nang tibain ang mga saging dahil hinog na ang bunga.
🇺🇸 The banana plants need to be cut down because the fruit is already ripe.
