/TSO-per/
FIL: Isang taong ang hanapbuhay ay ang pagmamaneho ng sasakyan para sa iba; isang drayber.
EN: Chauffeur; driver.
This is the slightly more 'sosyal' or old-school term for a driver, often a private one for a family. 'Tsuper' is for jeepneys, 'tsoper' is for the family car. Think of the driver in a classic Filipino movie, wearing a cap and a neat uniform.
From French 'chauffeur' via English.
Often used interchangeably with 'drayber' but 'tsoper' can imply a personal or private driver, whereas 'tsuper' is strongly associated with public transport like jeepneys.
